Syntasso Easily Engages 400+ Learners at a Conference Workshop with Instruqt [Video]

Syntasso is the creator of Kratix (kratix.io), an open-source platform for building internal platforms that help companies go faster, be safer, and increase efficiency. Abby Bangser, a Principal Engineer at Syntasso, needed a way to engage tech-savvy attendees at a KubeCon workshop and turned to Instruqt to articulate how Kratix simplifies the journey for platform engineers, making it less like an "alphabet soup” and more like a structured framework. 

• Challenge - Abby searched for a solution that could provide an engaging, hands-on learning environment with a low barrier to entry by removing complex setup procedures for each workshop attendee. 

• Solution - Instruqt’s ability to recreate a local development environment within a web-based interface stood out as a game-changer for Syntasso. Participants could experiment with familiar tools like VS Code and a console without worrying about OS compatibility or complicated setup procedures.

• Results - Abby’s workshop attracted and engaged a diverse audience with ease and at a large scale. Application developers, architects, and others from different backgrounds found value in the hands-on, collaborative learning environment, helping generate brand awareness and product education for Kratix.
