The hiring process for high-tech is completely screwed. Here’s why and how I fixed it for me and my team

Many years ago I had to hire a helping hand for myself for a first time. This was a very painfull, almost killing process. And I fixed it for the every next time. This article explains how.

IV: Deploy kafka (RedPanda actually) to our k3d cluster

24.02.2021 - AYB https://y-b.one/2021/02/iv-deploy-kafka-redpanda-actually-to-our-k3d-cluster/

Actual kubernetes-native apps often communicate not directly, but by sending messages to each other. The most common messaging apps for them are RabbitMQ, Redis (despite it’s actually a caching thing) and Kafka. In this case we’ll deploy a lighter Kafka alternative — Red Panda — which is much simpler in deployment, wa-ay less resource-greedy, but fully compatible with the original Kafka protocol.

III: Building kubernetes home lab with k3d — Service mesh and Postgres

02.02.2021 - AYB https://y-b.one/2021/02/iii-building-kubernetes-home-lab-with-k3d-service-mesh-and-postgres/

Writing kubernetes-native apps often requires inter-service communications and the best way to do that is to use the Service Mesh which helps services to discover each other and communicate. Also there could be need a database to store processed data and as an example we’ll deploy a k8s-native Postgres.

II: Building kubernetes home lab with k3d — Monitoring

The second part of the “Kubernetes home lab with k3d” series. This part is all about monitoring using Grafana-Prometheus-Loki stack

I: Building kubernetes home lab with k3d — Cluster deployment

07.12.2020 - AYB https://y-b.one/2020/12/i-building-kubernetes-home-lab-with-k3d-cluster-deployment/

Kubernetes spread is so wide these days so any programmer/DevOps pretending to be a “modern one” shall have a hands-on experience with it at least at a scale of the home lab. So this topic is exactly about building one.

After a long-long time passed, finally, this site is going for resurrection. :) Since the last post I’ve moved from Russia to Israel, learning almost new profession and made my life a lot easier overall. So, I decided to use that space to copy-paste usefull topics that respond my current interests. So here would appear various things related to DevOps methology and instruments, cycling, motorcycling, aviation and and other things I’d fell in love with.
