Abusing the Target Revision Field for Argo CD Promotions

Aug 1, 2025 By Kostis Kapelonis In Codefresh
In our big guide on how to use ApplicationSets for Argo CD applications, we explained the best practice of having a 3-level structure for all manifests with a clear distinction between Argo CD Application files and Kubernetes resource files. In that article, we also outlined several anti-patterns that we have seen in the wild, meaning questionable practices that might seem ok at first glance but are problematic in the long run both for developers and for Argo CD operators.

Librato on Heroku is Going Away and Hosted Graphite Is the Better Next Step

Aug 1, 2025 By Benjamin Pitts In MetricFire
Librato (a SolarWinds product) is being sunsetted summer of 2025, and that directly affects Heroku teams who’ve relied on the Librato add-on for “good enough” visibility into dynos, routers, and Postgres. If you’re in that group, you’ll need a replacement monitoring add-on that keeps you covered on Heroku and lets you grow beyond it without re-architecting how you ship metrics.

When AI Becomes the Judge: Understanding "LLM-as-a-Judge"

Jul 31, 2025 By Alin Dobra In Bunnyshell
Imagine building a chatbot or code generator that not only writes answers - but also grades them. In the past, ensuring AI quality meant recruiting human reviewers or using simple metrics (BLEU, ROUGE) that miss nuance. Today, we can leverage Generative AI itself to evaluate its own work. LLM-as-a-Judge means using one Large Language Model (LLM) - like GPT-4.1 or Claude 4 Sonnet/Opus - to assess the outputs of another. Instead of a human grader, we prompt an LLM to ask questions like "Is this answer correct?" or "Is it on-topic?" and return a score or label. This approach is automated, fast, and surprisingly effective.
