The Myths (and Costs) of Running Node.js on Kubernetes

Kubernetes struggles to scale Node.js efficiently due to a mismatch in resource usage patterns. Autoscaling can be sluggish with bursty traffic, leading to revenue risks and performance issues. Teams must rethink resource allocation and scaling strategies to optimize Node.js efficiency in Kubernetes.. read more

Internal HTTPS Routing in Istio.

Istio finally bringsinternal HTTPS routingwithSNI-based traffic rules. Services in the mesh can now talk over port 443—TLS fully intact. Just like in prod. TLS terminates at the ingress gateway. Routing pivots on SNI, not headers. Which makes this much closer to real-world mTLS flows. What’s the pla.. read more

Kubernetes for agentic apps: A platform engineering perspective

Agentic AI flips the old model. Instead of stateless, event-by-event workloads, we getstateful, self-steering systemsthat observe, reason, plan, and act - on loop. Kubernetes steps up as the OS for this next phase. Boosted by platform engineering, it brings the right mix:ephemeral compute, persisten.. read more

Who’s Calling That API? A Detective Story from the Depths of EKS Networking

A production network got hammered by too many Auth0 token requests. The source? EKS workloads tucked behind a shared NAT Gateway. No easy trail. Engineers stitched it together usingVPC Flow Logs,pod-to-node maps, and some sharpIstio ServiceEntry logs. Even with Kubernetes CNI doing its NAT-obscuring.. read more

Snapper is a command-line tool developed by SUSE for managing filesystem snapshots. It allows users to create, delete, compare, and restore snapshots of their system or data. A snapshot is a read-only point-in-time copy of a filesystem, useful for recovering from system changes or errors. Snapper integrates deeply with the SUSE ecosystem and works primarily with Btrfs, though it also supports LVM with thin provisioning. It can automatically take snapshots before and after software updates or system modifications, helping users track what changed and roll back if necessary. By using pre and post snapshots, Snapper provides a simple way to undo changes or restore files without requiring full system backups. It also supports automatic cleanup routines to manage disk space efficiently. In practice, Snapper serves as both a safety net and a diagnostic tool, making it easier to maintain system stability and recover quickly from mistakes or failed updates.
