- How the controller-runtime Cache Actually Works, and Why Your Controller Does Not Crash the API Server29 July 2026, 6:00 pm
This article has been revised since it was first published, to correct several significant technical inaccuracies in the original text.
Kubernetes has long been the default platform for distributed workloads, and writing your own
controller for it is now a matter of a few hours. The common path — Golang, using kubebuilder on top of
controller-runtime — gives you a project scaffold, types, and a reconciler. For typical
scenarios that is more than enough. But as soon as load grows or the con...
- Building a Custom Metrics Exporter for Kubernetes14 July 2026, 6:00 pm
Kubernetes ships with built-in awareness of CPU and memory, but most
real-world scaling decisions depend on signals that live entirely outside
that narrow window: how many messages are waiting in a queue, how long
the last batch job took, how many active WebSocket connections a pod is
holding. When the built-in metrics are not enough, a metrics exporter
bridges that gap.
This post walks through writing one from scratch, packaging it as a
container, and wiring it into a cluster so that Prometheus...

- Open source maintainership in the age of AI26 June 2026, 6:00 pm
AI has really changed the game around software development.
More people are leveraging AI than ever to contribute patches to projects they use.
To me, this is a good thing as more folks will contribute patches rather than fork or not fix them.
The main problem is that AI has made generating code fast but there has been very little improvement in maintaining code bases.
In this post, we will highlight the ways the Kubernetes community is adapting to the world of AI assisted coding.

Citizen development was supposed to free up IT teams, not give them a new category of risk to manage. Yet that is precisely what has happened in many organizations running Microsoft Power Platform at scale. Business users build apps, automate workflows, and connect data sources at a pace that traditional governance models were never designed to keep up with. Each new app or flow is a small decision about data access, and when hundreds of these decisions are made independently across departments,...
- Microsoft Foundry Tool Search: Your Agent Pays a Tax on Every Tool It Never Calls7 August 2026, 6:00 pm
Most agents are billed for tools they don't use. Not once — on every single turn.
The mechanics are simple enough that it's easy to miss. When you give a model a set of tools, the full JSON schema for every tool goes into the request. Names, descriptions, parameter types, enum values, nested objects, the lot. The model reads all of it, picks one, and calls it. Next turn, the whole catalog goes over the wire again, because the API is stateless and the tool list is part of the request....

- How We Cut PyFlink Pipeline p99 Latency from 3-5 Seconds to ~500ms7 August 2026, 4:00 pm
The Problem: Our p99 Was 3-5 Seconds
Our PyFlink pipeline was missing its latency SLO by seconds. The pipeline itself was straightforward: consume events from Kafka, transform them, serialize them as Protobuf, and write the results to downstream systems. Yet under production load, p99 end-to-end latency was consistently in the 3-5 second range.
Profiling pointed us to an unexpected bottleneck: we were deserializing Protobuf messages in Python, even though the Flink runtime processing our stream ...
- Orchestration Meets MCP: Building Governed Agentic Workflows With Quarkus Flow and AGENTS.md7 August 2026, 3:00 pm
Building autonomous AI agents with large language models (LLMs) is easy when writing single-turn demo scripts. However, moving multi-agent loops into production introduces serious architectural challenges. Agents hallucinate, loop infinitely without reaching convergence, require human approval for high-risk operations, and need standard tool-calling integrations alongside clear operational governance.
Historically, Java developers faced a tough choice: either rely on heavyweight, external workfl...
- A Zero-Trust Implementation Framework for Cloud Migrations: Lessons From Enterprise Deployments7 August 2026, 1:00 pm
Cloud migration projects almost always treat security as a downstream concern something to bolt on after workloads have already moved, once the “real” migration work is done. Across dozens of enterprise migrations spanning finance, healthcare, and manufacturing workloads, that ordering is consistently the source of the costliest rework: reopened firewall rules, retrofitted identity models, and access reviews that should have happened before a single virtual machine was provisioned.

Many companies are heavily investing in internal developer platforms (IDPs) with the expectation that they will speed up delivery and governance, and increase developer productivity. Despite significant investment in Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, security tooling, and cloud infrastructure, many platforms struggle to gain adoption.
The reason is simple: they are built and operated like infrastructure projects, not products....
- How to Design a Distributed Job Scheduler6 August 2026, 7:00 pm
Almost every backend eventually needs to run code on a schedule. Send the invoice at midnight. Retry the failed payment in five minutes. Generate the weekly report every Monday at 7 AM. Clean up expired sessions every hour.
On one server, this is easy. You write a cron line and move on. The trouble starts when one server becomes ten. Now the same cron line lives on every box, so the invoice job fires ten times instead of once. Move the cron to a single “scheduler” box, and that box becomes a...
- How RAG Cuts Hallucinations in Generative AI Chatbots6 August 2026, 6:00 pm
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) reduces hallucinations in generative AI chatbots by grounding each response in retrieved source data instead of relying only on what the model learned during training. Before the model writes a reply, the system fetches relevant passages from a trusted knowledge store and passes them in as context.

- HTTP QUERY Method Explained: RFC 10008, Ecosystem Adoption, and a Quarkus Implementation6 August 2026, 5:00 pm
Then the search form grows, filters multiply, and nested criteria appear. Since using GET means placing the query inside the URI, a length limit problem emerges. Worse, placing sensitive query values in the URI increases the chance of exposure through access logs, browser history, proxies, and monitoring systems. Because the HTTP protocol does not forbid it, sending a body with GET may look like a way out, but building your design on behavior the standards leave undefined is not a recommended pr...
- Kalshi and Polymarket Bets On Clinical Trials Criticized As 'Ghastly'7 August 2026, 9:00 pm
An anonymous reader quotes a report from NPR: Billions of dollars are traded every week on the lightly regulated prediction market sites, where users bet on everything from movie reviews to elections to conflicts in the Middle East. Clinical trials are just the latest area where the industry's rapid growth is raising ethical questions. Kalshi claims such bets will provide a new source of information about which drugs will get approved, and what clinical trials will show promising results, which ...
- 'Asimov Was Right' About Rules For Robots, Says Ex-US Cyber Director7 August 2026, 8:00 pm
Former U.S. National Cyber Director Chris Inglis says the biggest AI risk isn't sentience but autonomy. "What I'm worried about is that they get to choose what and where they do something, and under what rules they do it," he said, citing recent cases of AI agents from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta escaping security sandboxes. He argues developers need stronger safeguards, monitoring, and human accountability, invoking Asimov's idea that protecting humans should come before simply obeying them. Th...

- ByteDance Is Training a 10-Trillion-Parameter Model To Chase the Frontier7 August 2026, 5:07 pm
ByteDance is reportedly training an AI model with roughly 10 trillion parameters as it tries to close the gap with leading frontier systems such as Anthropic's Mythos. The model is still in early pre-training, and its eventual performance will depend on more than scale alone, but the project underscores how aggressively Chinese firms are pushing frontier AI despite limits on access to advanced chips. The Next Web reports: The size is itself the statement. At roughly 10 trillion parameters, the m...

- AMD Buys AI Chip Startup Taalas That Hardwires AI Models Into Its Silicon7 August 2026, 3:00 pm
An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNBC: On Thursday, AMD said it's entered into an agreement to acquire Taalas, a Toronto-based startup that makes chips for inference. Taalas' accelerators are customized, or hard-wired for a single AI model, rather than being general purpose. In exchange for that loss of flexibility, Taalas' technology promises a less-expensive chip that it says can produce output for specific models thousands of times faster than a traditional GPU. An AMD representative ...

Let us be real for a moment: we have all been burned by AI hallucinations.
You sit down, ask an LLM to write a helper script or refactor an awkward class, and it hands back something that looks strikingly professional. The indentation is crisp, variable names are elegant, and docstrings read like poetry. You compile it, and... kaboom.
The model confidently imported a non-existent package, called an API method that exists only in its imagination, and invented thr...

Because artificial intelligence competes with humans, especially for our planet’s resources, I’ve chosen my side: the human.

AI doesn't stop wars
AI doesn't help with the climate crisis
AI doesn't solve the world's nutrition problem
AI doesn't reduce the hate between humans
AI doesn't improve the distribution of wealth
AI doesn't enhance education
