DuckDB is an open-source in-process SQL OLAP database management system optimized for analytical queries. It can efficiently handle large datasets in a memory-efficient manner, making it suitable for serverless architectures. A DuckDB Lambda layer can be used to run performant queries on remote data..

Airbnb yanked tens of millions of lines of Java, Kotlin, and Scala out of Gradle and dropped them intoBazel. Why? Faster builds, reproducible results, and smoother dev workflows. They didn’t just swap tools—they rewired the whole thing. A customautomated build file generatornow slices up targets fi..

Git worktrees have been around since 2015, but few devs use them like they could. They let you work on multiple branches at once—each in its own directory—without the usual stash-switch-stash-repeat dance. The real power move? Pair them with abare repo. That gives you a clean, central base where ea..

Kubernetes v1.34makesNodeSwapofficial. For the first time, swap on Linux nodes is fully supported—breaking with the old norm of just turning it off. Why it matters: NodeSwap gives the kubelet a pressure valve. Instead of firing off OOM kills, it can push some memory to disk. But this isn’t a free w..

Kubernetes v1.34 lands August 2025 with a clear agenda: smarter scheduling, tighter control, fewer surprises. Dynamic Resource Allocationgoes stable, letting clusters actually reason about GPUs, FPGAs, and NICs. AI/ML and HPC jobs stop guessing and start requesting what they need. ServiceAccount t..

More devs are spinning upKubernetes clusters on stripped-down Linux distros—thinkRaspberry Pi OS,Debian,Talos Linux,Fedora CoreOS. MicroK8s and k3s make low-power, ARM-first deployments feel less like a science project. Talos Linux? It’s the wildcard—API-only node opsand animmutable, locked-down de..

88% of Kubernetes users say their total costs keep climbing—thanks to overprovisioned clusters, messy architectures, and hands-on ops. So now, 92% are bringing inAI-driven cost toolsto automate rightsizing and squeeze waste from sprawling workloads. System shift:AI isn't just sneaking into cluster ..

Imagine Learning tore down its old platform and rebuilt it onLinkerdwithAWS EKS, layering inArgo CDandArgo Rollouts. The result? GitOps deploys, canary releases via the Gateway API, and mTLS baked in from the start. The payoff: Over80%cut in compute costs. 97%fewer service mesh CVEs. 20%drop in op..

Capsule v0.10.3had a problem. Tenant users could sneak their own labels into system namespaces—an easy way to punch holes in Kubernetes multi-tenancy. v0.10.4shuts that down. It tightens namespace validation and clamps down on label injection...

The Kubernetes Learning Roadmap covers key concepts such as understanding Kubernetes use cases, installing Kubernetes locally, interacting with Kubernetes using YAML and kubectl, managing deployments and replica sets, and networking in Kubernetes. Additionally, it includes topics like managing envir..
