By shifting your policy validations to the BYOC deployment layer, you enable better protections from inadvertent changes.

See more about the day 30 challenges of BYOC. 🧵

[Nuon @nuoninc]

BYOC deployments need safeguards. We released Policies so that software companies have built-in prevention from a change that breaks an enterprise customer's compliance requirements.

See the detailed view of how we evaluate policies in our temporal orchestration layer. 🧵

[Jon Morehouse @nuonjon]

Today's launch: Nuon policies.

We don't have good enough tooling for managing BYOC software.

The hard part is not setting up a new customer. It's reliably pushing updates into dozens or hundreds of customer accounts, daily.

We need better for BYOC, and we're hard at work on it.

[Nuon @nuoninc]

Announcing Nuon's policy engine.

Add policies to your BYOC application and we'll automatically enforce them for every push into a customer environment.

Implement guardrails that prevent customer downtime, vulnerabilities and other destructive changes.

In our latest post, we talk about the need for better primitives to control, isolate and govern apps in customer environments.

Then why doesn’t India develop its own serious intellectual centers and universities? I agree with you, but the problem is Indians remain a colonized class of servants who still go to England and America for scientific research. China does its own research on traditional Chinese medicine.

@UIDAI @ceo_uidai This is the Aadhaar data security model under the morons @NandanNilekani and @vkhosla handpicked to build and run @UIDAI.

YOU GET A ASA_LICENSE_KEY

WHOLE WORLD GETS TO USE THE SAME FUCKING LICENSE KEYS! #DigitalIndia #FAIL

Today, we’re launching Break Glass.

If things ever go wrong with your app in a customer environment, you can break glass with Nuon. Define actions that use elevated permissions, and enable a customer to temporarily grant access to run them.

[Nuon @nuoninc]

We added a new component type that supports Kubernetes Manifests being deployed directly into customer environments.

[FFmpeg @FFmpeg]

We would like to thank @Nithin0dha for the $100k donation to FFmpeg (pending)!

While this does not solve the funding problems behind FFmpeg and Open Source in general, it's a step forward to a sustainable future for Open Source Software.

We'll have a booth at WorkOS's Enterprise Ready Conference. Come out and say hi to the team - grab your spot below 🚀

I firmly believe that 99.9% of India’s civilization history lies buried within us and is readily accessible to us. Only we haven't explored enough.

If the Archaeological Society of India intends to expand its work and expedite the rediscovery of our own Indian civilization, it must invest in owning or, at the very least, renting a remote sensing satellite equipped with LiDAR, Hyperspectral imaging, and SAR capabilities.

By using this satellite, all of India should be surveyed from space to identify subtle manmade topographic features left behind by ancient civilizations, underwater ruins and shipwrecks, and even post-fire/post-flood soil changes, such as those attributed to significant yagnas/fires/floods mentioned in our literature.

Once some interesting sites are identified, they should be manually surveyed to confirm any significance. Simultaneously, a new generation of young archeologists should be recruited and trained, and all these sites should be allocated to them for exploration, excavation, and study.

@roshanasingh6 @RoadsOfMumbai @caleb_friesen It'd be great if we can somehow attach funds released or tenders given for these roads as well. Will make it easier to hold the contractors and politicians both accountable along with municipality. It can be crowdsourced if RTIs are only option to get this data.

[Vicharak @Vicharak_In]

Two decades ago, Arduino put a microcontroller in every student’s hand, revolutionizing grassroots education.

Today, as Arduino begins a new chapter in another domain, we’re opening the next chapter in education: putting FPGAs into every student’s hand.

We’re delighted to introduce Shrike-Lite, the world’s most affordable FPGA development board, priced at just ₹349 / $4.

Shrike-Lite combines an MCU (RP2040) with an FPGA (ForgeFPGA – 1K LUT) on a single board, unlocking hands-on learning for thousands of students and makers.

Even with a 1K LUT FPGA, you can build:
– Custom UART / SPI / I²C cores
– LED and PWM drivers
– Simple robotics controllers
– Tiny accelerators and logic blocks
– Many more digital-logic projects

Since Shrike-Lite is a pet project at Vicharak, we’re keeping everything open-source, hardware, software, and toolchains, with complete software support from our team.

We’re opening pre-orders for the first 1,000 units in India, starting now.

Which will be delivered by 15th Nov, 2025.

New blog post alert! 🚀 Learn how to configure and install Grafana, one of the leaders in observability platforms - with Nuon - into customers' cloud accounts.

Nuon installs PostgreSQL databases, the PostgreSQL exporter, Prometheus, Grafana and 3 of its PostgreSQL dashboards, using multiple Helm charts, Terraform and Kubernetes manifests.

The convenience of SaaS and the security and control of self-hosting - but in your cloud VPC.

New blog post alert! 🚀

We're tackling a crucial decision for software vendors and enterprises: building BYOC in-house versus adopting an off-the-shelf solution like Nuon.

[Prem Saraswat @onprem_]

@DominikTornow Kubernetes' reconciler loop is a pretty good approximation for this!

At scale, Kafka etc are indeed used a lot to perform async business logic, but it's often limited to a select few APIs/workloads.

But a generic API server following K8s semantics would make it the standard.

[Prem Saraswat @onprem_]

@RajatPa24544323 @DetoxTravellerr @NHAI_Official @nitin_gadkari @hdmalhotra Oh yes. From that PoV, it is indeed serving it's purpose. For trucks it's fine too.

But we, the people of border areas anyways don't get good infrastructure. I would have appreciated if the contractor did his job properly, given we spend a lot of taxpayer money on this.
