Why Observability Is the Key to Unlocking GitOps
In a GitOps work process, Git is the single source of truth for the system’s intended state. Observability can provide the missing piece: the single source of truth for the system’s actual state.

eBPF and the Service Mesh: Don't Dismiss the Sidecar Yet
While eBPF looks promising to improve service mesh sidecar proxy performance, there are other, simplier ways to improve performance. The layer 7 processing needed for service meshes is unlikely to be feasible in eBPF for the foreseeable future, which means that meshes will still need proxies.

Why is Everything So Slow? Measuring and Optimising How Engineering Teams Deliver
As teams grow, they will slow down, but it should not mean that teams stop delivering value that can power future business growth. Avoiding excessive technical debt and ensuring systems are secure and performant becomes increasingly important. As an engineering leader, you can do things to be confident that your team is moving at the fastest and most sustainable pace.

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.

DevOps at Schneider: a Meaningful Journey of Engaging People into Change
Adopting DevOps at Schneider started with building a case for change. Tech people were engaged into change by organizing learning and collaboration sessions and getting feedback from the front lines. Change is hard and without leadership support, dedicated time for developers to really digest it and continual reinforcement and conversation, it will be challenging to be successful.

Virtual Threads: New Foundations for High-Scale Java Applications
Virtual threads are a lightweight implementation of Java threads, delivered as a preview feature in Java 19. They dramatically reduce the effort of writing, maintaining, and observing high-throughput concurrent applications. Virtual threads breathe new life into the familiar thread-per-request style of programming, allowing it to scale with near-optimal hardware utilization.
