Moving Kafka and Debezium to Kubernetes Using Strimzi - the GitOps Way
Deploying an Apache Kafka cluster to a Kubernetes is not an easy task. There are a lot of pieces to configure like the zookeeper, the Kafka cluster, topics, and users. Strimzi is a Kubernetes controller making the deployment process of Kafka a child game. Moreover, Strimzi lets you manage Kafka using GitOps methodology as everything is executed using a Kubernetes YAML file.

Managing Kubernetes Secrets with the External Secrets Operator
Kubernetes doesn’t yet have the capabilities to manage the lifecycle of secrets, so sometimes we need external systems to manage this sensitive information. Once the amount of secret information we need to manage increases, we may need additional tools to simplify and better manage the process. In this article, we’ll take a detailed look at one of these tools, the External Secrets Operator.

Article Series: Native Compilation Boosts Java
Java dominates enterprise applications. But in the cloud, Java is more expensive than some competitors. Native compilation makes Java in the cloud cheaper. It raises many questions for all Java users: How does native Java change development? When should we switch to native Java? When should we not? And what framework should we use for native Java? This series provides answers to these questions.
