A comprehensive guide to choosing between monorepo and polyrepo strategies when decomposing monoliths into microservices. Learn the trade-offs, implementation patterns, and real-world considerations that matter in production.
Discover why organizations are rapidly adopting DevSecOps practices and how to implement security-first CI/CD pipelines that protect against modern threats while maintaining development velocity.
Master blue/green, canary, and rolling deployment strategies. Learn how to integrate automated smoke tests, release gates, feature flags, and rollback techniques for safer, faster releases.
Toil kills engineering velocity and burns out teams. Learn how to measure, reduce, and automate toil in SRE and DevOps environments — with actionable best practices, anti-patterns, and case studies.
Go beyond uptime percentages—learn how to map business goals into user-centric SLOs, define error budgets, and set up actionable alerting with real-world examples.
Stop drowning in alerts. Learn how to design effective observability strategies using golden signals, RED vs USE methods, smarter alerting practices, and persona-driven dashboards that reduce pager fatigue.
eBPF is reshaping observability by enabling low-overhead, high-fidelity monitoring directly from the Linux kernel. Learn how it works, practical use cases, and tooling for real-time insights.
A practical checklist to ensure your Kubernetes clusters are production-ready. Covering security, reliability, operational safeguards, observability, and common pitfalls every team should avoid.

Learn how to manage feature flags at scale without introducing reliability issues or tech debt. Covers lifecycle management, observability, tooling, and governance strategies.
Incidents are wasted if they don’t drive change. Learn how to run effective postmortems, convert findings into roadmap items, revisit SLOs, and improve reliability across teams.
Even small teams need an incident response process. Learn how to set up lightweight incident command roles, handle outages smoothly, run blameless postmortems, and automate tooling for startups.
Build CI/CD pipelines that scale. Learn how to design faster builds, reduce test flakiness, add security gates, and deploy confidently without slowing down engineering teams.
Chaos engineering isn't about breaking production blindly. Learn safe, structured experiments you can run today to improve reliability, validate recovery plans, and strengthen SLOs.
Should you deploy using GitOps or ClickOps? Learn the trade-offs, best practices, and hybrid strategies to balance velocity, reliability, and auditability.
