We get this question a lot:
Is Tempest built on Backstage?
No!
We built Tempest from scratch with clean interfaces, intuitive workflows, and backed by logic that makes sense. The outcome? Real automation, not just visibility.

We heard the same things over and over from folks we talked to at KubeCon - my cofounder @jagiello.org hits the nail on the head with this one.
At KubeCon Europe 2025, we spoke with infra, platform, and security pros who told us that cloud security is critical, but still too complex.
Misconfigs, access sprawl, and inconsistent practices remain challenges. Our recent post shares how automation makes security seamless.
