Got different teams running Java/springboot in my workplace to move their docker file image k8s setup to standardized @Paketo_io build packs. we can use customize builders per team while ensuring standard workflow with security patches.

[Sai Kothapalle @Meliora245]

Anyone know more SRE troubleshooting tools similar to sad servers/Rawkode klustered?

[Sai Kothapalle @Meliora245]

@cnunciato Ease of managing complex stacks, used component resources and custom logic to handle stateful resources. Would have been verbose/not straight forward in TF.

[Sai Kothapalle @Meliora245]

Been using Pulumi with Typescript for a IaaC managing k8s and stateful databases. Don't see myself going back to using terraform after this.

[Sai Kothapalle @Meliora245]

@MKBHD I stopped counting tabs after using @SigmaOS , workspaces and subpages are neat.

[Sai Kothapalle @Meliora245]

@aantn I would gather metrics/telemetry of the queue, scale with KEDA and HPA based on queue items. The other option is to watch the queue and handle deploy using a separate daemon/deploy script.

[Sai Kothapalle @Meliora245]

@anjuls If you are curious on building a large scale distributed system in Go, https://t.co/WEWIW3ifCQ and grafana mimir

[Sai Kothapalle @Meliora245]

@iximiuz @CloudSecList Looking forward to read your container tools issue :)

[Sai Kothapalle @Meliora245]

@anjuls Thanks Anjul :)

Going to have my name published on book although as a reviewer, excited for Argo book to be released.

[Sai Kothapalle @Meliora245]

@m0un10_ @aantn Argo is more mature, reconciliation loop works better and visualization is a plus for devs.

[Sai Kothapalle @Meliora245]

@anjuls Add a GitHub actions exporter to Prometheus and analyze analytics across repos. There are also paid ones like Datadog/foresight.

[Sai Kothapalle @Meliora245]

Is there a better book on observability/monitoring which has more practical examples than observability engineering book? #OpenTelemetry #Observability

[Sai Kothapalle @Meliora245]

Came across neat little helm dashboard tool for viewing, roll back, values of charts from @Komodor_com

[Sai Kothapalle @Meliora245]

Came across kubectl client side throttling due to multiple API GET requests when using Cluster API.

This led me down the rabbit hole to Discovery cache (client) and how it supports variation of k8s resources.

[Sai Kothapalle @Meliora245]

Things I learnt this week
- Bootstrapping using kubeadm and cluster provisioners like cluster API, Crossplane etc will soon catch up/cross other IaaC tools.
- Tilt is nice for local/prod k8s microsvc dev
- Finalizers tweak can cleanup Cluster API resources too

[Sai Kothapalle @Meliora245]

Trying to push the limits of Cluster API to provision large k8s nodes, read about 300+ was a good number.

[Sai Kothapalle @Meliora245]

@GKBeer @stack72 @PulumiCorp Noticed the same, love what Pulumi does and hope they sort it out

[Sai Kothapalle @Meliora245]

@PulumiCorp @rawkode Tried out the #Pulumi challenge, good side project to take on. Looking forward to building more infra on Pulumi
