Pre-commit hooks catch secrets and fix formatting before bad stuff hits your repo. But if they’re clunky or slow, devs bail. Tools likePre-Commit,Husky, anddevenvare trying to fix that.devenvstands out—hooks are baked right into your Nix env, no extra glue scripts...

Docker just made debugging Dockerfiles inVS Codefeel like real development. With the latest Docker extension and Docker Desktop update, you can now set breakpoints, step through builds with F10/F11, poke at variables, and mess with the container’s file system mid-build...

The Kubernetes Gateway API leveled up - unifying North-South, East-West, and egress traffic with standard CRDs likeGRPCRoute,HTTPRoute, andReferenceGrant. In a Linkerd world, that means clean, declarative canary releases, granular egress control to outside APIs (say, Mistral AI), and clearer lines b..

Running RKE2 with Cilium and MetalLB in a lightweight Podman VM on macOS enables experimentation with Kubernetes. Unique network challenges require SSH port forwarding for service exposure...

AWS shows how to wire upArgo CDwithAWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK)to automateEKS Pod Identityfor IAM roles - GitOps-style. The catch? The Pod Identity API has a lag. So they bolt on apre-deployment validation jobto wait-and-confirm that the IAM role's actually bound before app pods come online...

DoubleVerify built a traffic replay tool that actually scales. It runs onPekko StreamsandPekko Cluster, pumping real production-like traffic into non-prod setups. Throttlenails the RPS with precision for functional tests.Distributed datasyncs stressful loads across cluster nodes without breaking a s..

Bare-metal Kubernetes just got a cloud-style glow-up. By wiring upMetalLBin layer2 mode with theNGINX ingress controller, the setup exposesLoadBalancer-typeservices—no cloud provider in sight. MetalLB dishes out static, LAN-routable IPs. NGINX funnels external traffic to internalClusterIPservices th..

The Kubernetes Policy Working Group got busy turning good intentions into real specs. They rolled out thePolicy Reports API, dropped best-practice docs worth reading, and helped steerValidatingAdmissionPolicyandMutatingAdmissionPolicytoward GA. Their work pulled inSIG Auth,SIG Security, and anyone e..

Seven ways folks trip over Kubernetes - each more avoidable than the last. Top offenses: skippingresource requests/limits, forgettinghealth probes, trustingephemeral logsthat vanish when you need them. Reusing configs across dev and prod? Still a bad idea. Pushing off observability until it’s on fir..

A 10-node Raspberry Pi 5 cluster built with16GB CM5 Lite modulestopped out at325 Gflops- then got lapped by an $8K x86 Framework PC cluster running4x faster. On the bright side? The Pi setup edged out in energy efficiency when pushed to thermal limits. It came with160 GB total RAM, but that didn’t h..
