Episode 3: Golden Paths vs Developer Freedom just dropped

Golden paths must be contextual (co-design w/devs, prioritize feedback loops), stricter when regulation or scale demand it, lighter where speed and experimentation are business priorities.

I remember a time when my dev environment for day in and day out was just React, since I've moved to DevOps, I haven't seen this space closely.

React & React Native are now transitioning to the React Foundation under the Linux Foundation

Congrats to all the maintainers/contributors #knative project, Welcome to the graduation club.

I've high hopes that recognition reflects a mature ecosystem of primitives, an even more compelling option for platform teams building serverless & event-driven platforms.

#nobelprize2025 goes where it "belongs", All of this hard work will eventually give us a "quantum computer" way earlier than everyone can predict. In 2026, I'll be looking up this space more closely because we can solve problems; previously, we were not sure how, but now we can reimagine.

In this episode, we speak with Qasim Sarfraz (Inspektor-Gadget maintainer) to answer a common question: If I already have Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry, do I still need Inspektor-Gadget?

Can Inspektor-Gadget handle K8s autoscaling needs alone?

Short answer: Not a standalone autoscaler, but a powerful data collection for observability (Prometheus/OpenTelemetry), combining those signals with HPA/VPA, KEDA, to achieve production-grade autoscaling behavior.

Perforator connects to real profiling data from Grafana Pyroscope (CPU & memory usage), That means you can immediately see “hot spots” – the parts of your code that are using the most resources – without switching to external dashboards.

Docker just dropped some sobering insights on AI infrastructure security

Docker Response:
✅ Container isolation for every MCP server
✅ Native OAuth handling (no vulnerable proxies)
✅ Zero-trust networking with allowlisting
✅ Real-time threat detection/monitoring

MCP Security Issues Threatening AI Infrastructure | Docker

Learn about critical MCP security issues, their real-world horror stories, and how to best mitigate these rising vulnerabilities.

(MCP) designed to be the “USB-C for AI applications” - has become a security nightmare.

New research reveals:
• 43% of MCP servers are vulnerable to command injection
• 33% allow unrestricted network access (data exfiltration risk)
• OAuth discovery flaws affecting 500K+ developer env's

Inspektor Gadget is an open-source toolkit from Microsoft that collects low-level telemetry from K8s clusters, enriches it with K8s context...

With the new TCP-dump gadget, capturing network traffic with cluster metadata makes network troubleshooting far more actionable.

Using Perforator for "Profile → Prompt → Patch" for Instant Code Performance Optimizations | Ep 139

Michael Solovev (creator of Perforator) demonstrates how Perforator fetches continuous profiling data (via Pyroscope), allows you to copy a contextual prompt for a bottleneck, and then utilizes an MCP-enabled AI agent to request the profiling payload & automatically refactor the code.

Why do we need profiling in our observability Stack?

Profiling shows which methods are slow, surface engineering and architectural issues, and powers continuous product improvement. When performance ties to conversion, profiling becomes a revenue play, not just incident debugging.

#CloudNativeWisdom007 Do AI wrapper companies have sustainable business models?

AI wrapper Companies with no defensible product lose margin fast.

If you build an “AI-powered” product, ask yourself:
- Would customers pay the same price if the LLM were free & embedded into a platform?
