Platform engineering isn't just for the big dogs anymore. Startups are picking it up as astrategic edge, building tight, high-leverage tooling from day one. Think:templated CI/CD pipelines, plug-and-play infra modules, zero-handoff onboarding. Done right, these early bets smooth the path and keep d.. read more  

AWS Lambda just got a smoother ride to prod. There’s now a nativeGitHub Actions integration—no more DIY scripts to ship your serverless. On commit, the new action packages your code, wires up IAM viaOIDC, and deploys using either.zip bundles or containers. All from a tidy, declarative GitHub workfl.. read more  

Terraform’s CLI will throw errors on configs that match the docs—because your local provider schema might be stale or out of sync. Docs follow the latest release. Your machine might not. So even supported fields can break validation. Love that for us... read more  

Oracle led the line-count race in the Linux 6.1 kernel release—beating out flashier open source names. Most of its work isn’t headline material. It’s deep-core stuff: memory management tweaks, block device updates, the quiet machinery real systems run on... read more  

Pinterest hit a weird one-in-a-million query mismatch during its search infra move to Kubernetes. The culprit? A slippery timing bug. To catch it, engineers pulled out every trick—live traffic replays, their own diff tools, hybrid rollouts layered on both the legacy and K8s stacks. Painful, but it .. read more  

A new TCO calculator breaks down what it really costs to run Kubernetes—DIY CNCF stacks, COSS platforms, and Portainer Business Edition. It crunches infra, labor, and software spend, then maps out staffing needs. It shows exactly where Portainer cuts Kubernetes bloat: itmaybe biased but it's worth t.. read more  

AWS and NVIDIA just dropped a full-stack recipe for running Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) onAmazon EKS Auto Mode—built on top ofNVIDIA NIM microservices. It's LLMs on Kubernetes, but without the hair-pulling. Inference? GPU-accelerated. Embeddings? Covered. Vector search? Handled byAmazon Op.. read more  

Kubernetes 1.34 drops on August 27, 2025, and it’s bringingKYAML—a smarter, stricter take on YAML. No more surprise type coercion or “why is this indented wrong?” bugs. Think of it as YAML that behaves. kubectlgets a new trick too:-o kyaml. Use it to spit out manifests in KYAML format—easier to deb.. read more  

Amazon EKS just leveled up—clusters can now run withup to 100,000 nodeswith support ofKubernetes 1.30and up. That's not just big—it’s AI-and-ML-scale big. Cluster setup got a lot less manual, too. The AWS Console’s"auto mode"auto-builds your VPC and IAM configs.eksctlplugs right into the flow... read more  

Swapping out Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler forKarpentercut node launch times to under 20 seconds and dropped compute bills by 70%. The secret sauce? Smarter, faster spot instance scaling. Bonus perks: architecture-aware scheduling formulti-CPU (ARM64/x86)workloads—more performance, better utilizati.. read more
