When Kubeflow meets Cilium: Debugging 60% idle GPUs in Kubernetes
The symptom that made no sense The first time we saw it, we didn’t trust the dashboard. A distributed training job was scheduled and healthy — every pod was running, no crashes, no OOMKills, nothing in…
On-prem DBaaS in 2026: Platforms, standards, and gaps
For application teams, databases should feel like a solved problem. A team needs PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Redis, or another data service, submits a request, receives credentials, and starts building. In practice, the experience is rarely that simple….
Evolving platform engineering for AI-native workloads
Platform Engineering 1.0 delivered real value. Golden paths accelerated deployment. Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) reduced cognitive load for developers. Self-service infrastructure gave developers back hours they had been spending filing tickets. Pipelines provided a standard vehicle to…
How data sovereignty is changing cloud native infrastructure design
The core issue isn’t where your server sits. It’s who can be compelled to hand over what’s on it. For years, cloud providers treated sovereignty as a geography problem. Pick a region. Choose a country. Keep…
