# Platform versus _DIY EKS._

Assembling EKS yourself means choosing pipelines, GitOps, secrets, and observability, then operating them. Resizes Platform is that foundation, installed in your account, with Resizes operating it.

## The published difference

The [services](https://resiz.es/services) page describes a managed platform instead of assembling EKS, pipelines, and tooling yourself, with repeatable delivery and the account kept by you. Identity, networking, and observability are one platform. Reliability, security, and performance are checked on the system you run.

[Resizes Platform](https://resiz.es/products/platform) is the product. [The managed engagement](https://resiz.es/services/managed-internal-developer-platform) is how it is hired. [Agentic](https://resiz.es/products/agentic) is how people who are not infrastructure specialists ask what is running and what to do next.

See [what an internal developer platform is](https://resiz.es/guides/what-is-an-internal-developer-platform) and [who runs Platform today](https://resiz.es/customers).
