The End of "Good Code"? AI, Throughput, and Reliability with CircleCI CTO Rob Zuber

Is “good code” still the right measure of engineering success in an AI-driven world? In this episode of *Humans of Reliability*, Rob Zuber, CircleCI CTO, joins Sylvain to explore how coding assistants are reshaping developer workflows and changing what teams value. Rob shares what he’s seeing across CircleCI’s customer base: a clear boost in throughput, new bottlenecks shifting from code creation to code review, and the rise of “vibe coding,” where engineers trust AI-generated code they may not fully understand.

Expanding in Europe: Balancing Security, Regulation, and Innovation

What does data sovereignty mean in practice for European cloud adoption? In this episode of Uplink, Nicolas Duffour, Strategic Development Director at Cloud Temple, joins host Michael Reid to unpack how enterprises and public agencies balance compliance, security, and innovation. From leading IT for French government ministries to helping Cloud Temple secure the prestigious SecNumCloud qualification, Nicolas brings first-hand expertise in navigating Europe’s regulatory landscape.

K3s Vs. K8s: Which Kubernetes Is Right For You?

Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open-source, portable, and scalable container orchestration platform. With K8s, you can reliably manage distributed systems for your applications, enabling declarative configuration and automatic deployment. Yet, K8s can be resource-intensive and costly, with a rather steep learning curve. But in 2019, a lighter, faster, and potentially more cost-effective alternative appeared: K3s. Still, K3s is not a magic wand that works for all Kubernetes deployments.

What are dependencies, and how do you secure them?

Open source software is everywhere. Research shows that around 97% of codebases contain open source software, and it’s clear to see why. It’s always magical to realize that there are thousands of free-to-use, ready-built programs and code repositories that solve problems you’d otherwise need to spend weeks building the solutions for from scratch. However, like with all software, you still need to ensure that your software supply chain is secure and safe to consume.

What's the state of open source adoption in Europe?

The Linux Foundation’s latest report, Open source as Europe’s strategic advantage: trends, barriers, and priorities for the European open source community amid regulatory and geopolitical shifts, provides key insights into how European enterprises are using open source software (OSS), as well as the barriers towards further development of open source in the continent.

Granular Allocation, Accurate Unit Costs: The New Standard For FinOps In The Outcome Era

If you’re struggling to contain cloud costs in this suddenly volatile AI-fixated environment, it might be time to consider FinOps as an exercise in granular allocation and unit economics, with a focus on outcome.

APM for Kubernetes: Monitor Distributed Applications at Scale

When a payment service runs across 12 pods — each serving different customer segments — and an authentication layer spans three namespaces, performance issues can originate in both the application code and the orchestration layer. The challenge is linking request-level performance data with what’s happening inside the cluster: container CPU limits, pod scheduling decisions, and node-level events.
