What is Kubernetes - and why is it everywhere in 2025?
From online banking to streaming apps, most modern software runs on it.
We break it down in simple terms - with trains, containers, and Swiss precision. 🇨🇭

Quarterly maintenance windows are Ops hustle 😮💨
An inflexible infrastructure forces your team to work around someone else’s constraints, optimizing for a provider’s quirks instead of your own goals.
This isn’t just a technical problem. It’s a financial one.

✨ Just discovered Kamaji — and I’m in love!
It’s a Kubernetes Control Plane manager that runs inside Pods, not on clunky VMs.
Perfect for multi-cluster setups, SaaS, and platform teams. You get:
🔸 Lower costs
🔸 Faster provisioning
🔸 Clean DevOps workflows 💅
If you’re into cloud-native infra, you’ll want to try this!

Exciting updates in the #Pkl ecosystem!
New features coming: Pkl Renderer for dynamic code generation, LibPkl for zero-dependency bindings, and community-driven capabilities.
We wrote about what's on the roadmap and why these updates make Pkl much more platform-friendly for real-world deployments. (Linked 👇)
We're building the next gen of platform tooling. Follow us for insights and updates about our first tool, launching soon!
Last month I delivered a talk at Geektime Code developer conference about Platform Engineering, what it really is (beyond the hype), and how to do it right.

Complexity can creep into your infrastructure fast, and once it’s there, it slows everything down.
Complex systems mean more effort, more stress, and more things that can break.
Simple, on the other hand, is reliable. Simple systems like Talos Linux and Omni can reduce maintenance time by up to 66%, giving time back to technologists and providing clearer oversight of your entire deployment.
