Enterprises that adopt OSS as the foundation of their internal developer platforms face the challenge of choosing technologies that will support their business outcomes long term. The cost of retooling and re-platforming for large organizations is high, which makes bets on specific technologies fundamental to their technology strategies. In order to de-risk these bets, enterprises take into consideration the investments of their peer organizations. Launched in October 2023, the CNOE (Kah - noo) project brings together enterprises (Adobe, Autodesk, AWS, Intuit,Twilio, Salesforce, Nike) to navigate these technology decisions together, de-risk their tooling bets, coordinate contribution, and maintain a reference implementation of our internal developer platform using CNCF technologies.
