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..

Incident.io dropped an open sourceMCP server in Gothat plugs Claude into their API using theModel Context Protocol. That means Claude can now ask questions, spin up incidents, and dig into timelines—just by talking. The server translates Claude’s prompts into REST calls, turning AI babble into real..

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..

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 ..

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...

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...

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..

SUSE Virtualization 1.5 lands with64-bit Arm and Intelsupport,CSIstorage compatibility, and a tighter4-month release loopsynced with Kubernetes. Built on Harvester and KubeVirt, the update pushes harder on a clear trend: legacy VMs and cloud-native apps sharing the same Kubernetes real estate. Sys..

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..

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..
