## AI overview

Real Kinetic introduces Konfig, an opinionated configuration or distribution built around GitLab and Google Cloud for startups and enterprises. The article argues that assembling flexible, unopinionated cloud products into scalable, secure delivery platforms requires substantial engineering effort.

## Source excerpt

Real Kinetic helps businesses transform how they build and deliver software in the cloud. This encompasses legacy migrations, app modernization, and greenfield development. We work with companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500s and everything in between. Most recently, we finished helping Panera Bread migrate their e-commerce platform to Google Cloud from on-prem and led their transition to GitLab. In doing this type of work over the years, we've noticed a problem organizations consistently hit that causes them to stumble with these cloud transformations. Products like GCP, GitLab, and Terraform are quite flexible and capable, but they are sort of like the piles of Legos below.
