Practical articles on AI, DevOps, Cloud, Linux, and infrastructure engineering.
A focused look at the techniques that shrink container images: which actually pay off, which are folklore, and the discipline that keeps images small over time.
How a small team moved from single-region risk to a simple active/passive multi-region setup without doubling complexity.
We've had to restore a Kubernetes cluster from backup twice. Once it worked. Once it took 14 hours. Here's the strategy we run now.
Build MLOps pipelines for training, evaluation, and deployment. Reproducibility and monitoring.
Practical game day scenarios for CI/CD: broken rollbacks, permission issues, and slow feedback loops—and how we fixed them.
We ran Istio for a year, then switched to Linkerd. Both can do the job. The decision came down to operational fit, not features.
A field report from rolling out retrieval-augmented generation in production, including cache bugs, bad embeddings, and how we fixed them.
We started with a single Celery worker handling everything. Eight months and three architecture changes later, here's what scaled and what we learned about queue design.
We cut our average CI build time from 28 minutes to 6 minutes. The changes that mattered, ranked by impact.
A real story of removing console-only changes, adding drift detection, and getting Terraform back in charge.
Concrete systemd unit patterns that reduced flakiness: restart policies, resource limits, and structured logs.
We scan every container image in CI and at runtime. Trivy + Cosign + admission controllers. The setup that earns its place and what we wish we'd known.
