Hi, I wrote a blog post about Tekton, nothing very advanced, just a graph + description for beginners to help better understand the layers of abstraction 😉 https://medium.com/@keska.damian/architectural-pyramid-of-tekton-a-cloud-native-modular-ci-cd-99147d5e1f28

reviewpad vs gitstream? which do you prefer?

Hi All I wrote this guide on how to set up a Global GDPR-compliant DB with Seaplane. Curious if this is interesting for anyone in their DP? Our main goal is to provide a global DB that shields people from regulation-induced complexity. https://developers.seaplane.io/guides/data-regulations-with-sql

HI Platform Engineering! I work for a company called Syntasso who help customers better treat their Platforms as products. Out of this work we’ve produced a tool called Kratix which enables platform teams to curate internal platforms through the creation of atomic as-a-Service capabilities such as Redis, Postgres, <insert your favourite tool here>, all the way up to more complex composite as-a-Service requests such as custom Golden paths. We are looking for a design partner to collaborate with to help improve Kratix. This would look like partnering with us to design your internal platform, build out your highest value ‘services’, and all we ask in return is for your candid feedback to help us evolve Kratix as a product. Equally if you just want to learn more about Kratix and would like a demo please just shoutT </shameless-pitch>! Thanks Chris

Hey everyone, we're super excited to announce that we've launched on Product Hunt today - would appreciate your support and feedback! https://www.producthunt.com/posts/nitric-deploy

HashiTalks Deploy (by HashiCorp) is tomorrow! My talk is scheduled for 12:45 EST, to show how you can do a blue-green deployment with HashiCorp Waypoint pipelines https://twitter.com/hashicorp/status/1600143130455597056?s=46&amp;t=ShtFIU96a0XfGHIHaq9SxA

[moving this to the right channel!] Hi all, I am Susa, and I am part of the team that launched Score.dev today. My team and I believe that developers shouldn’t fight with tooling and advocate for a workload-centric approach to development. We’re on a mission to reduce cognitive load on developers, minimize configuration drift and mismanagement, and improve the developer experience. Want to join us as a contributor? Read the official announcement to learn more. Or check us out on GitHub! 🌟 PS: the feedback of this community is incredibly important to us. Feel free to praise or to bash us in the comments! 😅

👋 one of the engineers behind code-server here. We just published a blog post that explores the different ways people use code-server with multiple users. https://coder.com/blog/code-server-multiple-users

Internal developer portals and the developer experience are moving fast - and what could be better than learning from the best practitioners out there? We couldn't think of anything better and that's why this webinar exists. Join us https://info.getport.io/port-lp-0-0-0-0

Hello! If anyone in London wants to join us at Harness.io for a night of video games, pizza and drinks on Monday 12th December after work (from 6PM GMT) feel free to sign-up here. 🎮🍻🍕 We’ll be at Platform Shoreditch (suitable choice of venue right?) 😄 - Hope to see some of you there!

- good talk

As the CEO of a company developing tools for DevOps (PerfectScale), we needed a few strong DevOps of our own to support our Kubernetes stack. Hiring these people became a much more challenging and time-consuming task than anticipated. Luckily we were able to bring the right people in, and we learned a lot throughout the process. Here are some tips for teams struggling to find skilled Kubernetes employees to support their business. https://www.perfectscale.io/blog/5-tips-to-address-the-shortage-of-skilled-kubernetes-devops-and-site-reliability-engineers

If you are SRE coming from software engineering background, chances are you are going to struggle with RCA, specially when it comes to sysadmin skill set. Writing a series about things I wish I knew: Data Collection, Data analysis, Network and OS monitoring. https://adrafiq-52.medium.com/sre-up-to-speed-data-collection-part-1-a869620d55f6 => Unix File Systems, Configurations, State and logs. https://adrafiq-52.medium.com/sre-up-to-speed-part-1-regular-expression-9fc026d433ba => Cant stress enough to revise and mindmap regexp.

ex-coworker of mine authored this today https://www.mikenikles.com/blog/dev-environments-in-the-cloud-are-a-half-baked-solution. I’m very much in agreeance that reproducible developer environments is a technique/practice and not something that can be purchased as a product feature.

Shameless plug: Divio does something kind of like this, but it's probably not exactly the same because, as Stephen Hawking put it, "the universe doesn't allow perfect[ software solutions for every use case]". We allow people to use backups of their environments—production, dev, etc., it doesn't really matter—and then just push it to local, work on it offline, then push that to whichever environment they want, whether that's live or dev or anything else. Docker needs to be in the picture. It's probably not an exact match, but it's how we handle this issue.

My blog on using dynamic app configuration with dynamic, short-lived secrets was published on the HashiCorp blog today! 😄 https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/dynamic-secrets-for-waypoint-with-vault

Anyone have any experience with coretex.io?

Hi Platformers In the recent vibes of SKYNET powered by ChatGPT is going to take over the world… we decided that if you cant beat them, join them. 🙂 We just released a new Open-Source cli tool that generates IaC, configurations, and CICD pipelines using Open AI. Check it out and if you like it, share it and put a 🌟 https://aiac.dev/

Heyoo Everyone!, I would love to share with you something my team have been working on 😭 Problem Modern-day ops have a wide range of great tooling that allows infrastructure teams to efficiently build & maintain the environment, but they are not optimized for self-service. An average project nowadays would require a developer to interact with docker-compose manifests, terraform configuration files, GitLab pipelines, Helm charts, Kubernetes manifests, etc. This is not an ideal experience for developers, so we built devx (x for experience). 🦸*The Mission* We want developers to interact with a single configuration file that’s easy and intuitive to describe everything their application needs, without having to be experts at all the underlying tooling used to implement this environment. Platform engineers can expose a simple, intuitive interface to developers that allow them to describe what the environment should look like without specifying how to implement it. Developers can define their workloads in CUE (or YAML), then devx consumes this definition and builds the configuration files appropriate for the target platform, such as

Docker Compose

,

Kubernetes

, and

Terraform

etc... Some cool features: • configurations are strongly typed (shift-left validation) • devx is extensible without writing custom code (you write CUE) • you can build your own levels of abstraction or use the standard lib • lightweight package management so you can pull and re-use platform definitions from Git repos 📖 Documentation https://docx.guku.io/ 🧑‍💻 The Code https://github.com/devopzilla/GUKU-devx Come join us, we're trying to build the next platform engineering standard to improve developer experience Let us know what you think!

CSA Trusted Cloud Providers - does someone know this certification? Know if for example Humanitec, Cycloid, etc also have this certification?

Hey friends. 👋 My colleague wrote an super-detailed guide on adding OpenTelemetry traces to Lambda functions, and run e2e tests. Pretty detailed stuff. https://tracetest.io/blog/observability-trace-based-testing-aws-serverless-opensearch-tracetest The OpenTelemetry team recently added Lambda Layers support for Lambda instrumentation. Was wondering what your take on this is. Do you instrument your code like the official docs explains, or do you prefer using Layers?

Does anyone here use Hashicorp Waypoint? We are building an integration with them, and I would love to get some insights into how you use it and with which platforms.

Hi friends. Shoreline just launched a free Incident Insights tool that uses ML to cut through the noise in PagerDuty ticket data to identify frequent causes and help SRE teams focus on solving issues instead of chasing fires. We’d love you to give it a try and give us feedback. Can you take it for a spin?
