(Dipendra Paudel) Have you ever wondered what it actually takes to deploy your Python/Django or any application to Kubernetes - and build a platform around it? Or if you already have one, whether you'd build it the same way in 2026?
This talk introduces Kubernetes as LEGO: building a real platform one block at a time, starting from raw primitives, layering Helm and Kustomize where they genuinely earn their place, and finally writing a custom operator in plain Python using kopf.
At each step, we ask: Does this next block solve a real problem, or create a new one? You'll leave with a composable mental model and a sharper instinct for when to stop.
