Inputs to gather first

platform requirements
service dependencies
lifecycle management

Recommended workflow

Step 1: Identify resources and their relationships
Step 2: Design custom resource definitions
Step 3: Implement operators for lifecycle management
Step 4: Create resource compositions
Step 5: Set up GitOps for deployment
Step 6: Implement observability
