From public static void main to Golden Kubestronaut: The Art of unlearning
Ten years ago, my entire world fit inside a public static void main. I was a Java developer. Infrastructure? That was someone else’s problem a black box where my JAR files went to live, or quietly…
K3s on On-Prem Infrastructures the GitOps Way: Writing a Custom k0rdent Template from Scratch
Kubernetes turns 12 this year. In that time, it’s gone from a Google side project to the operating system of modern infrastructure running everywhere from mainframes to GPUs, across multi-cloud, hybrid, on-prem, and edge environments. The…
The AI-driven shift in vulnerability discovery: What maintainers and bug finders need to know
AI models have recently drastically changed the sophistication, speed and scale of software vulnerability discovery. It is now trivial for non-experts to find real vulnerabilities in software with minimal effort and expertise. It is also now…
How To Measure the ROI of Developer Tools
There’s been a growing emphasis in the cloud native community on investing in tools that improve developer experience. Platform engineering, accompanied with the rise of projects like Backstage, is all about making developers more productive by…
ingress-nginx to Envoy Gateway migration on CNCF internal services cluster
CNCF hosts a Kubernetes cluster to run some services for internal purposes (namely; codimd, GUAC, kcp). The Kubernetes Project announced the ingress-nginx retirement (not to be confused with NGINX or NGINX Ingress Controller), which also affects the above mentioned Cluster. So…

The Challenge: Fragmented tooling and compliance risk at scale The client’s platform engineering team managed a sprawling cloud-native estate with over 1,000 GitLab projects, hundreds of Kubernetes workloads, Kafka streams, Databricks and Spark jobs, and Aurora…
Challenges The organization faced vendor lock‑in and rising costs from multi‑tool sprawl and uncontrolled telemetry ingestion/retention. Hybrid visibility was limited: legacy platforms and Kubernetes estates were observed separately, dashboards proliferated, and alerting was largely reactive, generating…
