kamaji
https://github.com/clastix/kamaji
Kamaji is a Kubernetes Control Plane Manager leveraging on the concept of Hosted Control Plane.
Kamaji's approach is based on running the Kubernetes Control Plane components in Pods instead of dedicated machines. This allows operating Kubernetes clusters at scale, with a fraction of the operational burden. Thanks to this approach, running multiple Control Planes can be cheaper and easier to deploy and operate.

A Git story: Not so fun this time
https://blog.brachiosoft.com/en/posts/git
Linus Torvalds once wrote in a book that he created Linux just for fun, but it ended up sparking a revolution. Git, his second major creation, also an accidental revolution. It’s now a standard tool for software engineers, but its origin story wasn’t so much fun this time, at least for Linus.

A write-ahead log is not a universal part of durability
https://notes.eatonphil.com/2024-07-01-a-write-ahead-log-is-not-a-universal-part-of-durability.html
A database does not need a write-ahead log (WAL) to achieve durability. A database can write its long-term data structure durably to disk before returning to a client. Granted, this is a bad idea! And granted, a WAL is critical for durability by design in most databases. But I think it's helpful to understand WALs by understanding what you could do without them.
