My Feedback about Nixpacks - an alternative to Buildpacks

2 months ago, I discovered Nixpacks - an alternative to Buildpacks to build a final container image that simply works. I’ve tried it with multiple projects, and the promise is very good.

In the last few years, we have seen many tools that tried to solve this problem, sometimes offered by the cloud providers (AWS CloudFormation) or vendor-agnostic solutions like Terraform and Pulumi.

The 2022 Managed Kubernetes Showdown: GKE vs AKS vs EKS

Kubernetes may provide an abundance of benefits, but those who are using it may be well aware that it often requires quite a bit (or even a lot!) of effort and skill to run the platform independently. So – rather than having to put up with it on their own, organizations are able to pay for a managed Kubernetes service instead. This is where Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) come in.

Troubleshooting microservices: Challenges and best practices

When people hear ‘microservices’ they often think about Kubernetes, which is a declarative container orchestrator. Because of its declarative nature, Kubernetes treats microservices as entities, which presents some challenges when it comes to troubleshooting.
