New Feature: Custom Kubernetes Annotations

Kubernetes annotations are key-value pairs attached to Kubernetes objects, providing a flexible way to extend the functionality of your Kubernetes resources without altering their internal specifications. These annotations serve as a tool to store additional metadata to tailor behavior, orchestrate tools, and interact seamlessly with third-party utilities that complement your Kubernetes environment.

How to Run Kubernetes on AWS?

In the last years, Kubernetes has grown tremendously and is considered by most companies to be the best platform to run applications today. In simple words, Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that allows you to run and manage containerized applications at scale. In this article, I will explain how you can run Kubernetes on AWS in 3 different ways. But before getting down the road, let me explain why it does make sense to run Kubernetes on AWS.

Building Modern REST APIs with OpenAPI

No, I'm not talking about 'OpenAI', though you certainly can use it to assist in your API designs. I'm talking about the OpenAPI standard, a modern spec for defining REST APIs. If you're reading this, I probably don't need to tell you that REST APIs are ubiquitous in tech. Practically every company has at least one, whether it be an internal or customer facing API. While other types of APIs have been gaining traction the last few years (GraphQL, gRPC, etc), REST is here to stay.
