Shane gives us an update on his janky Kubernetes homelab. The storage is under control with ZFS, he’s got a decent switch, and everything is in Git – so maybe it isn’t that janky anymore.
Platform Engineering success can't be coded. At #InfoQDevSummit Munich 2025 (Oct 15-16), Max Körbächer will share how a product mindset helps you build platforms developers choose to use, not are forced to adopt.
Thank you @leanpub for featuring The Cybernetic Enterprise!
I’m thrilled to see this vision of adaptive, feedback-driven organizations gaining traction.
If you’re leading transformation in tech, AI, or strategy, this book is for you.
Let’s build systems that learn, adapt, and thrive.
AI platforms need a dual-mode design. Join Aaron Erickson @NVIDIA at QCon AI New York 2025 to learn how to separate nondeterministic agents from deterministic tools for robust, reliable systems.
Talos Linux is secure, minimal, and API-driven. But if you’ve got: Cluster sprawl across AWS, bare metal & edge
Infra ops eating dev time
Pressure to ship faster
… It might be time for Omni.

What to think about when picking a public cloud provider, and why it depends on the needs of your business. Free credits, billing complexity, available tools, small clouds vs the big three, hiring people with experience of particular cloud platforms, support, compliance, ease of repatriation, and more.
Platform as a Product is rapidly becoming essential!
Last year's #InfoQDevSummit Munich explored its growing impact, showcasing how teams apply product principles to internal dev platforms for great results. Discover the next evolution!
Join us Oct 15-16, 2025.

Whoop! My talk has been accepted at FastFlowConf UK 2025 Join me on 14-15 October in London, UK to hear about 'Economies of Empowerment' and other great sessions related to Team Topologies: https://www.fastflowconf.com/
How we access home environments from outside the home network while trying to stay secure using VPNs, Wireguard, overlay VPNs (like Tailscale and Nebula) and reverse proxies. Sean introduces us to Pangolin as an open source alternative middle-ground.
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.

Kubernetes curly: deployment with autoscaling, each pod depends on and occasionally writes-to an external database.
To minimise database reads, an in-memory cache is implemented in the application.
However, when a pod writes to the database it should invalidate that key in the cache for all pods.
This works fine for the local cache, but how to distribute that invalidation?
I suppose we could use a statefulset and then hit the service for each other running pod but that seems... messy.
Call of PagerDuty: Unscheduled Escalation
How much observability and monitoring is really needed, the tooling people actually use (from Datadog and Grafana Cloud to open source options like Prometheus, Loki, and Tempo), and how to approach observability without overcomplicating things.
The evolution, current trends & future impact of #PlatformEngineering on software delivery!
Paula Kennedy explains paradigm shifts, reveals insights from the DORA State of DevOps Report, and explores principles like #PlatformAsAProduct; all geared toward boosting organizational performance.
