| Slogans | I know what I want... not yet sure how to achieve it. |
- 💚 I need to evaluate Kyma fast (within 1 day).
- 💚 I love tutorials, sample code, recipes that refer to my use cases (i.e authentication/authorization flows).
- 💚 I want to ensure product (industry) standards for free (i.e security, accessibility, observability, tracing, etc).
- 💚 I want a futureproof platform, based on references.
- 💚 With Kyma, I want to connect to systems I know (public and internal ones).
- 💚 I need a trial version of Kyma before I can recommend it.
- 💚 I need agility in architecture design. I want to replace individual modules if needed.
- 💚 I want a painless upgrade path.
- 💚 I want operational support.
- 💔 I give up on a project if success stories and/or references are missing.
- 💔 I give up on a project if documentation (incl. tutorials) is missing.
- 💔 I don't want to take extra care of security, monitoring, tracing, etc.
