Continuous Delivery - It’s Not All about Tech!
It’s easy to get caught up in the technical side of continuous delivery. Objectively observing all stages of the releases in action allows measuring the release process to find non-tech factors hindering your releases and the bottlenecks and queues. Make sure your communication methods are effective, and that all the people involved are genuinely working together well.

Service Catalog and Kubernetes
Cloud-native applications do not just live inside Kubernetes—they also benefit from using the available cloud managed services. Similar to Kubernetes' declarative object configuration model, the Open Service Broker API with the Service Catalog provides a declarative way to describe cross-platform/cross-cloud managed service dependencies.

Scaling a Distributed Stream Processor in a Containerized Environment
The article presents our experience of scaling a distributed stream processor in Kubernetes. The stream processor should provide support for maintaining the optimal level of parallelism. However, adding more resources incurs additional cost and also it does not guarantee performance improvements. Instead, the stream processor should identify the level of resource requirement and scale accordingly.

What Machine Learning Can Learn from DevOps
The fact that machine learning development focuses on hyperparameter tuning and data pipelines does not mean that we need to reinvent the wheel or look for a completely new way. According to Thiago de Faria, DevOps lays a strong foundation: culture change to support experimentation, continuous evaluation, sharing, abstraction layers, observability, and working in products and services.
