What is Argo Workflows? And why it can be compared to an automated production line

Simple Kubernetes Jobs and CronJobs quickly fall short for multi-stage processes: dependencies between tasks, artifact passing, and clear visualization are missing. How do you orchestrate complex, parallel processes directly on Kubernetes?

What is Argo Events? And why it can be compared to a motion detector

While Argo CD manages state, clean standards are often lacking for events from the outside world: custom receiver apps create security risks and clutter. How can event-driven actions be managed just as declaratively as GitOps state?

What is ArgoCD? And why it can be compared to a thermostat

Classic CI/CD pipelines quickly reach their limits with Kubernetes: deployment transparency is lacking, manual interventions remain possible and cause discrepancies between Git and the cluster. How can these problems be solved?

AI in Platform Engineering Day-To-Day Work - A Field Report

AI in my platform engineering day-to-day work hadn't really convinced me yet: hallucinations like non-existent configuration keys or invented features threw a wrench in my plans more than once. A one-day workshop changed my mind. Now I'll tell you what simple tricks you can use to upgrade your AI skills in your platform engineering daily life.
