Node Runtime CV

Allan Tenison

Platform engineering leader building a multi-runtime local IDP demo

What is running in the local workstation demo and how the control plane is split from the workload plane.

Current Runtime

Backstage runs host-local behind Cloudflare. k3s hosts runtime services, Argo CD, and the internal provisioner APIs.

Platform Path

Backstage template -> runtime-specific platform API -> GitHub Actions -> GitOps -> Argo CD -> live site.

Why It Matters

The demo shows opinionated defaults, multiple backend APIs, and a single portal front door.
