This article opens up Volcano's controllers to show how gang scheduling avoids the deadlock where half a distributed job holds resources, following the PodGroup and Job state machines with real cluster logs.
Fatih Arslan
This article explains Kubernetes operators as feedback controllers, connecting reconciliation, informers, queues, spec/status, and self-healing behavior to database operations.
Claudiu Dascalescu
This article opens up Xatastor, the storage system Xata built for millions of Postgres databases, explaining why they chose ZFS zvols over NVMe-oF instead of Ceph or Longhorn, and how their Kubernetes operator drives it.
Myroslav Vivcharyk
This article reads the HPA as a proportional controller from control theory, showing why the deadband, high gain and slow response trade-offs are unavoidable, and what dead time and pod quantization do to a PID version of it.
Tools and utilities
Yoke is an IaC tool inspired by Helm that leverages WebAssembly and Go to dynamically deploy Kubernetes packages with executable runtime capabilities.
Agent Substrate is a Kubernetes runtime for stateful agents that packs many mostly idle agents onto a few worker pods while keeping each agent's memory, filesystem state and routing intact.
KSolver is a Kubernetes cost optimizer that uses CP-SAT constraint programming to find cheaper node fleets, explain blockers, simulate changes, and rank safe savings actions.
wellcake is a Kubernetes operator for Valkey that runs standalone, replication, sentinel and cluster topologies from one CRD, with failover, rolling restarts, S3 backups and secret rotation.
This code tool converts JSON files into Kubernetes resource manifests, allowing you to use JSON/jsonnet workflows while still generating valid YAML for Kubernetes.

Learn from production
Leo Blondel
This case study shows how a 3-person team built a Claude-based AI SRE that triages SigNoz alerts, checks Kubernetes, GitLab, logs, traces, and Slack, then ignores noise, escalates, or runs safe fixes.
Nick Georgiou
This case study explains how Plum migrated from ingress-nginx to kgateway and Gateway API in 12 weeks without production downtime.
It covers inventory, staging validation, parallel running, mTLS decisions, and custom observability.
Ankit Prakash Gupta
This case study shows how Spark on Kubernetes batch workloads cut cloud costs by colocating executors with drivers, reducing inter-zone shuffle costs, and moving executors to Spot VMs safely.
De.Code – Deloitte Germany Engineering Blog
This case study shows how Deloitte built a multi-cluster Kubernetes platform on STACKIT with an admin cluster, Argo CD ApplicationSets, GitLab pipelines, and shared platform tooling.

This tutorial explains how to catch Helm drift in Kubernetes before manual kubectl changes break GitOps source-of-truth workflows.
Daniel Vigueras
This tutorial explains five Laravel-on-Kubernetes production gotchas, covering immutable migration Jobs, managed databases, worker shutdown timeouts, queue worker flags, and better autoscaling signals.
Muhammad Muzammil
This tutorial shows how to build a per-user SaaS setup on EKS Auto Mode with one pod, one subdomain, one persistent volume, wildcard TLS, and a shared ALB.
Chris St. John
This tutorial shows how to set up Horizontal Pod Autoscaler with CloudFront CDN on Amazon EKS, using k6 for load testing to demonstrate CPU-based autoscaling from 3 to 10 pods and identifying node capacity limits.

This article shows how to use Kubernetes ConfigMaps as a lightweight real-time state store by watching ConfigMap changes and faning events out with Python asyncio.
Prashant Pathak
This article explains how Kubernetes CPU throttling can amplify Python GIL contention and cause unstable P95/P99 latency even when average CPU and P50 latency look normal.
Gabriel Anhaia
This article explains why Go services in Kubernetes can waste CPU when GOMAXPROCS does not match pod CPU limits.
It covers automaxprocs, Go 1.25 behavior, stale env vars, and throttling checks.
