Lightrun Releases KoolKits - Debugging Toolkits for Kubernetes

KoolKits (Kubernetes toolkits) are highly-opinionated, language-specific, batteries-included debug container images for Kubernetes. In practice, they’re what you would’ve installed on your production pods if you were stuck during a tough debug session in an unfamiliar shell. To briefly give some background, note that these container images are intended for use with the new kubectl debug feature, which spins up Ephemeral containers for interactive troubleshooting.

The AppScope Origin Story

Since we introduced AppScope in 2021, we’ve been relentlessly working towards the production-ready milestone. Last week we released AppScope 1.0. It’s been a long haul getting to this point. Not really sure if it took this long because we solved difficult problems, or if we’re just that slow. Someone told me that what we are doing would go a lot faster if we use a modern high-level language. Maybe … Can you imagine doing this in TypeScript? Yeah, me either.

Announcing HAProxy Data Plane API 2.5

The focus of the 2.5 version was on expanding support for HAProxy configuration keywords, and that’s where most of the effort during this release cycle was spent. We will continue doing that during the next couple of versions to gain complete feature parity with both the HAProxy configuration and Runtime API so that you can use the Data Plane API as a full-featured way to configure HAProxy.
