Battle-tested CircleCI tips and tricks
Hello, everyone! In this series of posts, I will cover a variety of topics that I think everyone who works with CircleCI (Circle) should know. For all the posts in this series, I’m assuming that the reader is familiar with the general concepts of CircleCI.
How to run your pods without turning gray
In development stages when we debug our Kubernetes deployments or playing with Helm charts we may get stuck with some strange errors.
Raising Spinnaker on Argo for Flux
As validated by this CD Foundation post – continuous deployment in cloud-native land is still not a solved problem. A number of tools exist, each covering a part of the terrain, each with its own quirks and idiosyncrasies.
This article won’t be a comparison of all the different tools out there. There are multiple sources for that online…
DevOps Shorts 001 – with Tobias Kunze of Glasnostic
I’m starting something new! And it’s a podcast of course. :))
DevOps Shorts is the show where we invite wonderful human beings to have a lightning-fast conversation about Devs, Ops and other Mythical Creatures.

And ‘DevOps Paradox’ is basically the outcome of him traveling around the world, catching the industry’s leading speakers, writers and thinkers, getting them into the corner and attacking them with uncomfortable questions.
With his main question being: “What the hell is DevOps?!”
Continuous Collaboration with Codefresh
About a week ago, I wrote about Kosta Klevensky (the DevOps architect for Codefresh) joining forces with Otomato.
This has caused some misunderstanding, which I’d like to clear up. Our collaboration with Codefresh goes back a long way.

How Service Meshes May Save Continuous Delivery
The Truth
There is a truth about continuous delivery that gets lost behind all the buzz. And the truth is that it is a lot like sex when you’re a teen – everybody talks about it, everybody thinks about it, everybody is preparing for it, but very few actually do it.
