Tools and utilities

  • Crossview: Crossplane UI

    Crossview is a React-based dashboard for managing and monitoring Crossplane resources in Kubernetes with features like:

  • k8s-bootstrap: GitOps cluster bootstrap

How We Cut Build Debugging Time by 75% with AI
How We Cut Build Debugging Time by 75% with AI

Build failures in Kubernetes CI/CD pipelines are a silent productivity killer. Developers spend 45+ minutes scrolling through cryptic logs, often just hitting rerun and hoping for the best.

Ron Matsliah, DevOps engineer at Next Insurance, built an AI-powered assistant that cut build debugging time by 75% — not as a dashboard, but delivered directly in Slack where developers already work.

In this episode:

  • Why combining deterministic rules with AI produces better results than letting an LLM guess alone
  • How correlating Kubernetes events with build logs catches spot instance terminations that produce misleading errors
  • Why integrating into existing workflows and building feedback loops from day one drove adoption
  • The prompt engineering lessons learned from testing with real production data instead of synthetic examples

The takeaway: simple rules plus rich context consistently outperform complex AI queries on their own.
