For the experienced folks here, While using auto scaling in k8s, which metrics did you look at in real world scenarios? I know CPU, memory etc. are the usual ones to look at. But, did you ever encounter a situation where these metrics did not help when scaling was actually needed. I am inquisitive post a recent conversation where a team is using "oldest message in message queue" as a metric for scaling pods. would like to hear more such stories.

We published a new article on the Platform Engineering website from Jon Skarpeteig, Tribe lead global platform at Signicat, on the importance of getting level of platform abstraction right.

Always start with the fundamentals you can't live without – like hosting and storage. Then, you build upward in what I like to refer to as a microservice hierarchy of needs.

Let me know what you think! https://platformengineering.org/blog/right-level-of-abstraction-internal-developer-platform

Hey everyone. Wanted to let this group know about a free virtual conference happening today and tomorrow called Unblock. The talks are primarily centered around running CI/CD at scale, with some surrounding topics in the mix. Here's the link to the schedule so you can and see if anything sounds interesting to you: https://buildkite.com/unblock/schedule

Hi all, i have prepared a list of blogs and sites that every SRE and platform enthusiast must follow. I hope everyone will find it useful. I would like to ask everyone over here if you have a blog or if there is a good underrated blog that you follow which will be useful to SRE/Platform engineering enthusiasts then, please feel free to do a PR and add it there. Also i am looking for ideas and suggestions on how to make it better and make it easier for users to navigate. https://github.com/pgaijin66/Blogs-that-every-SRE-DevOps-PlatformEngineer-should-follow/blob/main/README.md

One of the main trends in 2022 was Platform as Product, discussed by Manuel Pais, co-author of the book “Team Topologies" in a great talk at PlatformCon. Which are the 2022 trends that were more relevant for you? Which are the trends you foresee will drive the discourse in 2023? https://dzone.com/articles/platform-engineering-trends-you-need-to-know

Its interesting in the past year I have seen a lot of saas products that consider themselves a IDP but are very paas like, ie: point your repo at it and we magically generate a container and helm chart from it and deploy it to kubernetes ( they also magically create a kube cluster for you ), while thats great for a early startup ( and a valid platform to use ) once you hit your stable growth/enterprise stage you want to be able to start editing helm/docker files with more options, which a lot of those platforms dont expose, also on not being able to edit the kube cluster that it magically got created so im curious to see what will end up happening with those platforms, that also ignores the huge segment of the market that needs to have compliance/data isolation/has to run in house.

That's really interesting. I've been seeing similar. I think what's going on there—at least in part—is a market-size driven decision. There are thousands more startups that are able to use the beginner PaaS model than startups that make it to the point where they can use an advanced PaaS that gives them those options that you need when you grow. (My company does, e.g, ISO etc., but I do think advanced PaaS's are much, much rarer). It's easier to justify pursuing a market of smaller customers in fundraising rounds than justify fighting established players like RedHat for the massive, blue whale-sized customers. Trout are just more common. And VCs want to see a giant potential pool of trout, rather than a small market with customers that take a long time to close. There is a middle ground but some VCs believe the middle ground is where companies go to die. In my opinion, this bias from the money side of things would nurture new startups and offerings away from the middle and enterprise areas of the market. The larger but lower-paying, higher churn market is also a well-trodden path and at least one of the leaders in that space has been struggling for a while. So those customers are looking for somewhere to go and these newer companies smell blood in the water. My 2 cents! YMMV. 🙂
