Why Ingress Is Being Replaced and Which Gateway Controller to Pick

A hands-on guide to building a distributed rate limiter that signals real systems engineering skills to hiring managers.

I’m using this post to gather together some common threads I’ve noticed after reading write-ups of major cloud software incidents. By cloud software, I’m referring to software-as-…

TypeSafe calls Jev a System One model. What it means, how it compares with ML and LLMs, where it fits in enterprises, and when to skip it.

Kian Rogerdi joins Matt Allford to talk about connecting Platform Engineering to business value, why platform teams should be enablers rather than gatekeepers.

How Fairwinds deployed, operated, and migrated production n8n on EKS with workers, PostgreSQL, Redis, S3, and external secrets.

Docker's Sandbox Kit Specification v3 packages an AI agent's network rules, credentials, and volumes as an ordinary, pinnable OCI image.

How do you know if an AI agent is actually any good? Try pointing Grafana Labs' observability toolkit at its behavior for a genuinely clean way to think about agent quality.

Use the OpenTelemetry Injector to instrument Java, Node.js, .NET, and Python applications on a Linux host and send traces, metrics, and logs to SigNoz.

Learn about Red Hat's open-source AI-assisted threat modeling tool, agentic-threat-modeling, for faster, more efficient code security.

This is the companion book to my Go Conference 2026 talk “Behind the Scenes of OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation”. Zero-code instrumentation with eBPF is often described as working “regardless of …

Ten coding agent habits checked against the research behind them, from AGENTS.md drift and /compact to model switching, subagents, and review.

incident.io is a software reliability platform unifying on-call, agentic root cause analysis, incident response, and status pages – helping teams resolve issues faster.

The Kubernetes attributes processor, which enriches your telemetry with Kubernetes metadata, has officially moved to v1.0.0! You can try it out on your custom distro, and it is also available as part…

FinOps is a business change problem. Orange harnessed specialized agents to overcome the usual FinOps hurdles to accelerate AI adoption and ROI.

Observability is the bedrock of reliability, so I designed and implemented the full tracing layer for an AI agent before writing a single line of the agent loop. Three benefits, two drawbacks, and…

Budget pressure on your toolchain? See what goes into DevOps platform costs, from compute to security to tool sprawl, and where to cut.

See how Uptime Labs builds provable, scalable incident response capability across your organisation.

AI-assisted incident response can lower MTTR while leaving engineers less prepared for the complex incidents automation cannot solve.

WalShadow replicates Postgres data directly from physical WAL into ClickHouse, delivering around 200 ms latency and 289,000 rows per second in benchmarks.

Cost reduction isn’t a given. It also depends on the types of requests the application receives, the price difference between models, and how well the routing system performs. In this article, we are…

Follow a SQL query through the router, across four Postgres shards, and back.

This document describes three failure scenarios that separate having backups from being able to recover, and the guidance that follows from each. Every scenario is reproducible on a laptop from the…

“A sales guy writing code” used to be the lead-up to a joke. But now no one’s laughing. Designers used to sit meekly waiting for the high priests of code to make their designs real. Now they don’t…

Observability spend is outgrowing infrastructure budgets. What drives the cost up, how pricing models work, and a practical framework to manage it.

You’ve probably felt this one: GitHub Actions usage creeps up across your org, and your actual visibility into it doesn’t keep pace. Which workflows are slow? Which are flaky? How long are jobs…

k8sgpt, kubectl-ai and kagent diagnosed my sabotaged cluster. One of them even repaired it on its own. Here's which I'd trust in production.

Kubernetes v1.37 includes API support for horizontal autoscaling of workloads down to zero replicas. This feature is now Beta and enabled by default. A HorizontalPodAutoscaler (HPA) that uses a…
