You know those pages you receive in the middle of the night? Not a full-blown fire, mind you, but rather a slow-burning panic? Let me tell you one of those stories that changed the way my team built software forever. It was 2 a.m., and the graphs looked bad. Not dead, mind you, but sick. […]

Why PostgreSQL Vacuum Matters More Than You Think Keeping PostgreSQL fast and stable is not just about good schema design or indexing. One of the most overlooked pillars of database health is the Vacuum process. It is easy to ignore because it operates quietly in the background, yet it is crucial for long-term performance, storage […]
DevOps has always sought to deliver software faster without breaking things — a balancing act between velocity and stability. Now, artificial intelligence is dramatically shifting that balance. AI-powered tools and practices are weaving into every stage of the delivery pipeline, helping teams ship code at lightning speed with greater safety. Analysts predict that by 2027, […]
It is often assumed that encryption is the gold standard method for securing assets in the cloud. Cloud providers give assurances that all their services are “encrypted by default.” Several regulatory and cloud compliance policies mandate that organizations encrypt data at rest, in use, and in transit. All of this should make cloud environments secure, […]

This series is a general-purpose getting-started guide for those who want to learn about the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project Fluent Bit. Each article in this series addresses a single topic by providing insights into what the topic is, why it is worth exploring, where to get started, and how to get hands-on with […]
The capabilities offered by AI are no longer limited to large, centralized platforms. Today, engineering teams are increasingly embracing lightweight, specialized AI agents that can be managed, scaled, and deployed just like microservices in a cloud-native environment — whether for summarizing large documents, translation, classification, or other analytical tasks. In this tutorial, you will create, […]
Apache Kafka is the backbone of modern event-driven systems. It powers real-time use cases across industries. But deploying Kafka is not a one-size-fits-all decision. The right strategy depends on performance, compliance, and operational needs. From self-managed clusters to fully managed services and Bring-Your-Own-Cloud (BYOC) models, each approach offers different levels of control, simplicity, and scalability. […]
Agile delivery failures are usually explained with comfortable excuses. The backlog was unclear. The scope changed. The estimates were wrong. The architecture was fragile. The process wasn’t followed closely enough. In real delivery environments, especially complex or hybrid ones, those explanations rarely hold up for long.
