Application metrics cannot explain TCP retransmissions, cgroup scheduling delays, or syscall hot paths. eBPF runs sandboxed programs in the Linux kernel to observe those signals with minimal overhead—without strace, sidecars, or kernel rebuilds.
14 min read · trace every request path across microservices in Kubernetes
One user request can cross dozens of services before it returns. Logs and metrics alone cannot show where latency or errors appear in the chain. This guide deploys the OpenTelemetry Operator, agent and gateway collectors, auto-instrumentation, and W3C context propagation to Tempo.

Jaeger, Prometheus, and Fluentd as three separate stacks multiply ops cost and break correlation. This guide deploys agent and gateway Collectors with memory limits, tail sampling, exporter queues, and Kubernetes Helm patterns.
13 min read · make disaster recovery repeatable, testable, and aligned to RTO and RPO
RTO caps how long a service may stay down; RPO caps how much data you can lose. This guide encodes both targets in Terraform, automates backup verification, provisions failover infrastructure, and orchestrates recovery with tested pipelines.
12 min read · collapse incident tooling into one auditable Slack workflow
On-call engineers still context-switch between PagerDuty, Grafana, kubectl, and wikis while minutes burn. This guide wires Prometheus Alertmanager into a Slack bot that enriches alerts, posts runbook actions, and executes approved remediation with RBAC.
11 min read · define reliability targets with measurable error budgets
Dashboards and alert volume do not define reliability. This guide shows how small platform teams pick one or two user-facing SLIs, set a 30-day SLO with an error budget, wire multi-window burn alerts, and connect budget policy to release decisions.

Most outages are not caused by unknown bugs but by untested failure behavior. This guide explains how to run hypothesis-driven chaos experiments safely, measure impact, and turn findings into repeatable resilience improvements.

Hybrid estates split teams across incompatible tooling and slower incident response. This article outlines a single operational layer: shared deployment interfaces, normalized observability, policy-as-code, mesh-aware connectivity, and identity that spans both runtimes.
