Modern software delivery is no longer constrained by application code — it is constrained by the platform that runs it. This article presents the design of a cloud-native Internal Developer Platform (IDP) built on Kubernetes and CNCF ecosystem tools, demonstrating how Infrastructure as Code (IaC), GitOps, and security-first pipelines can be combined into a cohesive, operation...

I still remember the first time we lost sleep over something that wasn’t a bug.

It was a Tuesday. Grafana dashboards showed blank panels for Cilium network metrics. Hubble was working fine — DNS visibility, TCP flows, and HTTP latency were all there in the Hubble UI. But the on-call engineer staring at Grafana at 2 AM couldn’t see any of it. The reason? Prometheus h...

If you run GPU workloads on Kubernetes — vLLM, Triton, training jobs, or the newer agentic inference stacks — you’ve probably hit a familiar problem: the default autoscaling path still reasons about CPU and memory, while the GPU that is actually doing the work stays hidden. That mismatch wastes expensive accelerator capacity, pushes up inference latency, and creates unnecessa...

The 2026 CNCF TOC cohort has an unusual pattern: three of the incoming members; Brandt, former TAG Security, lead; Mario, former TAG Operational Resilience lead, and Mauricio Salatino, former TAG Developer Experience co-chair, came straight out of TAG leadership. That’s not a coincidence, and with TAG nominations open right now, it felt like the right moment to share mor...

As software architectures evolve, observability tools must adapt. When the industry moved to microservices, distributed tracing became a necessity. Jaeger emerged as a core tool for engineers to understand those fragmented systems. Now, as organizations integrate generative AI applications and autonomous agents into production, tracing requirements are shifting again. Mapping...
