Platform engineering maturity: From toolchain to self-service
Most platform engineering conversations tend to split into two rooms pretty quickly. The first room is full of teams who don’t have a platform yet. Scattered scripts, tribal knowledge, and every team is doing the same…
OpenTelemetry has graduated… now what?
In case you missed it: OpenTelemetry (OTel) has officially achieved CNCF graduated status! It now stands proudly alongside amazing open source projects such as Kubernetes and Prometheus, to name just a few. It’s been a long…
Observability in Kubernetes: From metrics to meaning
Kubernetes made infrastructure more programmable, scalable, and resilient. It also made production systems harder to reason about. Workloads move, replicas churn, dependencies multiply, and a single user request can cross ingress, services, queues, storage, and background…
Scale before the spike: Predictive autoscaling for GPU workloads on Kubernetes
The 3 AM Call We got paged one Tuesday morning. A critical production service had crashed under traffic—not gradually degraded, but crashed. Hundreds of pending pods. Users were seeing 15–20% error rates. The incident postmortem was…
Building an AI factory on Kubernetes
An AI factory is not just a model or a cluster. It is a pool of GPUs that many teams draw from at once: one team fine-tuning, another serving inference, a third running evaluations, all on…
How to turn slow queries into actionable reliability metrics with OpenTelemetry
Slow SQL queries degrade user experience, cause cascading failures, and turn simple operations into production incidents. The traditional fix? Collect more telemetry. But more telemetry means more things to look at, not necessarily more understanding. Instead…
