## Live Demo: Self-Service Deploys, Full Audit Trail

Thursday | Oct 8th, 2026 |  8:00 AM PT | 11:00 AM ET | 5:00 PM CET

Platform teams spend a disproportionate share of their time on work that isn't platform work: approving routine deployments, granting one-off RBAC exceptions, and getting paged when a developer's sync fails, turning the on-call rotation into a troubleshooting desk. Tooling sprawl compounds it—separate UIs for CI, CD, and workflows mean developers ask the platform team instead of finding the answer themselves. AI-assisted development adds pressure rather than relief here: more code shipped faster means more deploys hitting the same manual gates.

In this live demo session, Eddie Webbinaro, Head of Solutions Engineering at Akuity, builds the fix end-to-end on the Akuity Platform: promotion stages, gates, and custom steps defined once in Kargo, with full audit visibility retained across every environment, so developers and SREs get a self-service path inside those boundaries instead of a ticket queue.

After this session, platform and SRE teams will see how to:

- Define promotion policy once in [Kargo](https://akuity.io/what-is-kargo)—gates, stages, and custom steps—instead of approving each deploy manually
- Give developers a self-service path through dev, staging, and production that stays inside platform-set guardrails, with a full audit trail retained.
- Let developers diagnose a failed Argo CD sync themselves via the Deployment Advisor, and let the On-Call Agent handle remediation for degraded applications, instead of paging the on-call SRE.
