Build and Deploy a Remote MCP Server to GKE in 30 Minutes

Google walks you through shipping a remoteMCP serveronGKE AutopilotusingFastMCPandstreamable-http, swapping localstdiofor shared HTTP endpoints. The clever bit: theGateway APIhandles managed SSL plusCLIENT_IP session affinity, so one centralized server beats everyone running redundant local copies... read more

The unwritten laws of software engineering

- Always related - first rollback, then debug. - Backups aren’t real until restored. - You’ll hate yourself for bad logs. - ALWAYS have a rollback plan. - Every external dependency will fail. - If there's risk, use the “4 eyes” rule. - Nothing lasts like a temporary fix... read more

Google hits 50% IPv6

The 50% IPv6 milestone is real, but adoption differs by country. Analysts who report lower figures use population-weighted sampling, while their per-country adoption rates match the higher estimate... read more

Building in the Age of Collaborative Coding

The speed of innovation is crucial for teams, and AI tools have enabled faster work. A collaborative coding model where teams build, review, and ship alongside AI agents is key to staying ahead in workflows. Three shifts have reshaped how teams build, leading to the adoption of a new collaborative c.. read more

When failover isn’t safe: Building high-availability PostgreSQL on Kubernetes

Datadog made PostgreSQL failover safer by treating replica lag as the promotion gate. A zonal-failure gameday showed that detection and automation could not protect the database if the standby sat behind the primary. The team added lag-aware checks, clearer operator signals, and failure drills so en.. read more  

When failover isn’t safe: Building high-availability PostgreSQL on Kubernetes
At its core, Argo CD treats Git as the single source of truth for application definitions. You declare the desired state of your Kubernetes applications in Git (manifests, Helm charts, Kustomize overlays), and Argo CD continuously compares that desired state with what is actually running in the cluster. When drift is detected, it can alert you or automatically reconcile the cluster back to the Git-defined state.

Argo CD runs inside Kubernetes and provides:

- Declarative application management
- Automated or manual sync from Git to cluster
- Continuous drift detection and health assessment
- Rollbacks by reverting Git commits
- Fine-grained RBAC and multi-cluster support

It integrates natively with common Kubernetes configuration formats:

- Plain YAML
- Helm
- Kustomize
- Jsonnet

Operationally, Argo CD exposes both a web UI and CLI, making it easy to visualize application state, deployment history, diffs, and sync status. It is commonly used in platform engineering and SRE teams to standardize deployments, reduce configuration drift, and enforce auditability.

Argo CD is part of the Argo Project, which is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), and is widely adopted in production Kubernetes environments ranging from startups to large enterprises.
