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

Everything a Senior Engineer Needs to Know About What's Inside an LLM

The shift from RNNs totransformerssolved sequential bottlenecks and long-range decay issues withself-attention. Transformers use encoding, decoding, and tokenization to process sequences efficiently and accurately. This evolution led to models like GPT, which excel at tasks with minimal fine-tuning .. 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  

Building in the Age of Collaborative Coding
Pelagia is a Kubernetes controller that provides all-in-one management for Ceph clusters installed by Rook. It delivers two main features:

Aggregates all Rook Custom Resources (CRs) into a single CephDeployment resource, simplifying the management of Ceph clusters.
Provides automated lifecycle management (LCM) of Rook Ceph OSD nodes for bare-metal clusters. Automated LCM is managed by the special CephOsdRemoveTask resource.

It is designed to simplify the management of Ceph clusters in Kubernetes installed by Rook.

Being solid Rook users, we had dozens of Rook CRs to manage. Thus, one day we decided to create a single resource that would aggregate all Rook CRs and deliver a smoother LCM experience. This is how Pelagia was born.

It supports almost all Rook CRs API, including CephCluster, CephBlockPool, CephFilesystem, CephObjectStore, and others, aggregating them into a single specification. We continuously work on improving Pelagia's API, adding new features, and enhancing existing ones.

Pelagia collects Ceph cluster state and all Rook CRs statuses into single CephDeploymentHealth CR. This resource highlights of Ceph cluster and Rook APIs issues, if any.

Another important thing we implemented in Pelagia is the automated lifecycle management of Rook Ceph OSD nodes for bare-metal clusters. This feature is delivered by the CephOsdRemoveTask resource, which automates the process of removing OSD disks and nodes from the cluster. We are using this feature in our everyday day-2 operations routine.
