Optimizing autoscaling in Kubernetes involves much more than just monitoring CPU and memory, as this blogpost by Cristian Sepulveda demonstrates through a practical application workflow. By leveraging KEDA to scale based on real-world metrics like message queue length, teams can achieve faster, cost-effective scaling tailored to specific application needs.

As the complexity of modern software systems grows, the meaning and practice of "observability" have become increasingly muddled. In this personal essay, Charity Majors argues that it's time to "version" observability—differentiating the traditional metrics-logs-traces approach (Observability 1.0) from a new, more flexible model built on wide, structured log events (Observability 2.0).

Slow container startup times can cripple the productivity of Kubernetes teams managing large Docker images—sometimes dragging deployments out for hours. In this feature, Kazakov Kirill shares a practical strategy for pre-warming nodes and leveraging image caching, dramatically reducing cold starts and disk pressure during mass pod rollouts in Amazon EKS clusters.

Tail-based sampling unlocks deeper insights into distributed systems by allowing OpenTelemetry users to prioritize traces that matter most, such as those with errors or slow responses. This guide explains how tail-based sampling works, its differences from head-based sampling, and provides a practical walkthrough for setting up a two-tier OpenTelemetry Collector architecture that intelligently filters traces for more actionable observability.
