A practical guide to solving when zero+zero=two in mesh observability
A Service Mesh like Istio, together with Kiali gives you a lot on day one. You install the mesh, point Prometheus at it, and suddenly you have request rate, latency, error rate, and a fairly good…
Learning Cloud-Native Engineering Beyond Tutorials Through LFX
I joined the LFX mentorship expecting to spend three months writing documentation. A few weeks later, I was deploying OpenTelemetry Collectors across AWS EC2 instances, debugging networking problems between machines, and trying to understand why a…

OpenCost 1.121.0: First-of-a-kind Kubernetes inference cost tracking
Your GPU bill is rising. Your models are serving billions of tokens. Yet one question remains unanswered: what does each token actually cost? This is not a hypothetical problem. Platform teams today operate in a fog…
You can’t debug what you can’t see — Observability for AI Agents
This article reflects practical experience building and operating production AI agent systems. Traditional APM can’t tell you why your agent spent far more than usual asking the same question three times. We’ve been running AI agents…
Cortex completes OSTIF security audit
The Open Source Technology Improvement Fund is proud to share the results of our security audit of Cortex. Cortex functions as a long-term, multi-tenant scalable open source storage for Prometheus and OpenTelemetry. Thanks to Quarkslab and…
Runtime Supply Chain Verification using the Node Resource Interface (NRI)
The widely used container supply chain verification tools today operate at the Kubernetes API layer as admission webhooks (such as Kyverno, OPA Gatekeeper, and Sigstore Policy Controller). They intercept pod creation, check signatures and attestations, and…
Your Kubernetes health checks are accidentally waking your services. Here’s the fix.
Scale-to-zero breaks when health checks scale you back up. Learn how KubeElasti’s ProbeResponse lets Kubernetes services stay genuinely idle — while keeping load balancers and uptime monitors happy. Scale-to-zero sounds perfect on paper. Idle service. No…
