Would you like to run functions in your own Kubernetes clusters? Would you like it to be as simple as possible? How about providing Functions As a Service (FaaS) flavor of serverless computing to everyone in your company? If the answer to any of those questions is yes, you might want to explore Knative Functions.
Continue readingIs Kubernetes too complicated? Do you or the people working with you prefer ClickOps instead of terminals and writing manifests? Do you prefer SaaS solution running on your own infrastructure? If you do, Qovery might be a good fit for you. In this video, I will show you how to use Qovery to deploy an application with a managed database to Kubernetes.
Continue readingHow can we enable application developers to be self-sufficient instead of opening JIRA tickets requesting deployment of their apps to Kubernetes, creation of databases, clusters, etc.? In this video, I’m trying to answer that question through an example of a stateful application running in Kubernetes and connected to a database. To accomplish that, I’ll use Crossplane, SchemaHero, Okteto, and a bit of Bash scripting.
Continue readingDevelopment and preview environments should be similar to production. If production is in Kubernetes, development should not be managed by Docker Compose, especially if using Kubernetes is just as easy or even easier. Let’s prove that with Okteto.
Continue readingSometimes, when defining Kubernetes manifests, YAML or templating is not enough. Sometimes, we do want a “real” language like Go, TypeScript, Python or Java as an engine that will generate Kubernetes manifests. That’s where cdk8s comes into play. In this video, we will see how to use cdk8s to create Kubernetes manifests.
Continue readingGarden claims that it enables us to rapidly develop and test in remote, production-like environments, and that it eliminates hours of CI/CD pain. Let’s see whether that’s indeed true by putting it to a test with a Kubernetes cluster.

Continue readingCan Jsonnet with Tanka replace Helm and Kustomize?
Continue readingCan AI help us write code? Let’s see whether GitHub Copilot and OpenAI Codex are just the thing we need.
Continue readingKubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) is limited to memory and CPU metrics. It can be extended with custom metrics, but that might not be enough either. KEDA (Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling) might be the solution for all (horizontal) scaling needs.
