Why I Joined Upbound, by Oren Teich – He ran product management for all developer products at Google Cloud, and he joined Heroku as the 9th employee and first product hire. Now, he is joining us here at Upbound as Chief Product Officer.

Crossplane first look: What most people get wrong (and how to get it right) – As you continue defining your cloud platform and consider how to deploy and run it in critical production environments, you’ll likely also consider how you can accelerate this effort. Crossplane contains the logic, machinery and reusable components that can be assembled to achieve your organization’s unique vision of efficiently and reliably delivering infrastructure and applications to production.

In more exciting news, we have also launched a preview of our upcoming product: Upbound.  It’s the easiest way to build, deploy, and manage your internal cloud platforms using control planes. Preview users get a glimpse into:

• fully managed control planes
• a command and control center for operating Crossplane at scale
• bootstrapping users' first platform APIs
• a self-service console tailored to users' platform API
