I am planning to build a startup around some pain points around K8s, it may be related to platform engineering as well. - I tried building Opensource Platform as a service (Visualith) that would help you deploy k8s cluster and application on your AWS account but have 0 takers. I think i am missing the point here. Need some feedback around the pain points so that i could build an actual solution.

Try the Platform Engineering Slack[0]

Unless you want to build really low-level infrastructure components, platform engineering is where you will find most of the current pain points.
