Kubernetes Cost Optimization Done Right

Kubernetes was never just about cost savings. It was built to be a robust, scalable, and efficient platform for orchestrating containerized applications. And it was meant to abstract infrastructure away so developers could move quickly and go about their business of developing. But as Kubernetes adoption scaled, so did cloud bills. FinOps tools emerged to rein in spending, but most only scratch the surface.

A Quick Guide To Kubernetes Observability

Many companies are rapidly adopting cloud-native computing services, like containers, microservices, and serverless computing. Unlike monolithic applications, these technologies rely on distributed architectures. Whether you are running them in the cloud, on-premises, or both, distributed systems consist of thousands or millions of processes and components. The challenge now is to make these complex systems’ inner workings visible, controllable, and improvable.

How to Configure Docker's Shared Memory Size (/dev/shm)

Your Node.js app runs fine on your machine. But inside Docker? You start getting weird crashes—ENOSPC: no space left on device. Chrome headless tests fail out of nowhere. PostgreSQL throws shared memory errors under load. The problem? It’s probably /dev/shm, the shared memory volume Docker sets up by default. Most containers get just 64MB of space here.
