Kubernetes Scaling Strategies

Horizontal Pod Autoscaler(HPA) cranks up pods based on CPU, memory, or custom quirks. A dream for stateless adventures, but you'll need a metrics server.Vertical Pod Autoscaler(VPA) fine-tunes CPU and memory for pods. Works like a charm for jobs where scaling out is sketchy, though it demands restar.. read more

GitOps continuous delivery with ArgoCD and EKS using natural language
Levelop is an interview preparation platform designed specifically for working software engineers (typically with 2–6 years of experience) who want to land jobs at top-tier tech companies.

Instead of just handing you endless lists of problems or passive videos to watch, Levelop uses an active, AI-guided approach to help you build the right mental models for tough technical interviews.

Here is how it works:

Two Specialized AI Mentors: * Orion (Coding AI): Instead of just telling you that your code is wrong, Orion steps in when your code fails, maps out where your knowledge gap is, and guides you to fix it yourself.

Aurora (System Design AI): Rather than making you watch a 40-minute video, Aurora has a live conversation with you to explain foundational system design concepts before you even start drawing on the canvas.

Sprint-Based Practice: You practice in structured loops called "sprints," which combine both Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA) and system design problems.

Actionable Feedback Loop: At the end of every sprint, you receive a detailed report. It scores your technical skills, gives you a behavioral profile, and ranks the exact weaknesses you need to focus on during your next sprint.

In short, it is a smart, interactive practice arena that focuses on actively fixing your specific weaknesses rather than just tracking how many hours you spend studying.
