Explore practical infrastructure testing strategies using Terratest and Pulumi's testing frameworks, from unit-testing resource configurations to integration-testing provisioned cloud environments with automated teardown.
Implement GitOps workflows with ArgoCD for Kubernetes infrastructure management, covering application-of-applications pattern, secret handling, drift detection, multi-cluster sync, and progressive rollout integration.
Design internal developer platforms that abstract infrastructure complexity, provide self-service capabilities, reduce cognitive load on application teams, and accelerate delivery across the organization.
Implement GitOps workflows using declarative configurations and Git-driven deployment pipelines that bring version control, auditability, and reproducibility to Kubernetes cluster management.
Master Kubernetes network policies to control pod-to-pod traffic, implement microsegmentation, and build defense-in-depth for your cluster workloads.
A hands-on guide to instrumenting Node.js applications with OpenTelemetry — covering traces, metrics, and logs with auto-instrumentation, custom spans, context propagation, and exporter configuration.
How to set CPU and memory requests and limits in Kubernetes correctly — avoiding OOMKills, CPU throttling, and wasted cluster capacity with practical sizing strategies.
How to go from 'it takes 2 days to onboard' to 'it takes 20 minutes' — using Dev Containers, shell scripts, and infrastructure-as-code patterns to create reproducible, one-command developer environments.
How to build on-call rotations that keep systems reliable without burning out your team — covering scheduling, escalation policies, runbook design, and incident response workflows.
How to build a complete observability stack — connecting distributed traces, structured logs, and metrics to debug production issues faster than monitoring alone.
Practical GitHub Actions patterns for automating CI/CD, code quality checks, dependency updates, and release workflows — with reusable workflow examples.
A hands-on guide to Kubernetes Pods, Deployments, and Services — covering the core abstractions you need to run production workloads.
