Thanks for sharing your insights into platform engineering

Hey Juraj! Great read!
When designing Cyclops UX do you have two sets of users in mind? One are developers and the other are Sre/DevOps teams? How do you prioritise one over the other?

Thanks!
Developers need our tool to be intuitive and easy to use, while DevOps wants to quickly set up custom UIs for the developers while remaining in control and ensuring nothing breaks on the infrastructure side.
