This case study tells how a team deleted their EKS cluster and moved to three plain servers with Kamal, dropping the bill from $1,200 to $180 a month and deploying in about half a minute.

This tutorial teaches how to deploy OpenTelemetry Collectors on Kubernetes using both DaemonSet agents and sidecar collectors together, with a tail-sampling gateway that merges telemetry from both topologies without breaking trace continuity.
This article explains how Kubernetes 1.36 moves scheduling toward whole workloads with the new PodGroup API, so AI and batch jobs get all their pods placed together instead of one by one.
This article digs into a bug in VPC CNI v1.21.0 in which a reused loop variable wrote network policy rules to the wrong eBPF map, silently dropping every packet to the pod.
Tools and utilities
NineVigil is a Kubernetes operator that runs AI agents inside gVisor sandboxes, closes their network egress with Cilium and keeps a tamper-evident audit record of every run.
dtop is a fast terminal dashboard written in Rust that shows what all your Docker containers are doing right now, across several hosts at once.
k8s-overcommit Operator is a Kubernetes operator that trims pod CPU and memory requests based on per-workload overcommit classes, so you can pack more onto a cluster without touching the limits.
Jarvis is a self-hosted web UI for Alertmanager where alerts are stored in a database, and people can claim and comment on them so the team sees who is handling what.
AegisBPF is an eBPF agent that actually blocks unwanted file and network access at the Linux kernel level, instead of only alerting you after something already happened.

Kube Select takes one bold Kubernetes hypothesis and tests it with an expert.
In the first episode, Salman Iqbal and Bart Farrell ask whether most organizations have an observability problem or a decision-making problem.
Henrik Rexed, Senior Staff Engineer at Dynatrace, challenges the original claim. Teams can collect metrics, logs, and traces, but that telemetry needs system relationships, ownership, and deployment history to support a confident decision.

Learn from production
Mijndert Stuij
This case study walks through moving from ingress-NGINX to Envoy Gateway, including the mistakes made on the way, like nginx annotations that do not map one-to-one onto Gateway API policies.
Netflix Technology Blog
This case study shows how Netflix moved millions of batch jobs from its homegrown queueing system to Kueue, without the people submitting those jobs noticing any change.
Deepakravi
This case study shows how to stabilize Harbor on VMware VKS by expanding storage, upgrading the Supervisor Service, and configuring Trivy scanning to receive vulnerability results.
EXANTE Technology
This case study shows how EXANTE replaced manual Saturday releases with a fully automated GitLab CI + Flux + Jira pipeline across 60+ Django modules, 7 GKE environments, and 30+ services to meet fintech regulatory audit requirements.
