## AI overview

The article introduces Konfig, an enterprise integration of GitLab and Google Cloud designed to provide more opinionated guidance for security and governance, maintainability, and speed to production during cloud migration and modernization efforts.

## Source excerpt

In a previous post, I explained the fundamental competing priorities that companies have when building software: security and governance, maintainability, and speed to production. These three concerns are all in constant tension with each other. For companies either migrating to the cloud or beginning a modernization effort, addressing them can be a major challenge. When you're unfamiliar with the cloud, building systems that are both secure and maintainable is difficult because you're not in a position to make decisions that have long-lasting and significant impact--you just don't know what you don't know. One small misstep can result in a major security incident. A bad decision can take years to manifest a problem. As a result, these migration and modernization efforts often stall out as analysis paralysis takes hold.
