Welcome to my blog — a space where I share insights from real-world DevOps experiences, cloud infrastructure challenges, and lessons learned while building secure, scalable systems.
Here you’ll find posts on topics like Kubernetes, GitOps, CI/CD pipelines, Terraform, and cloud-native architecture — along with reflections on productivity, personal growth, and the spiritual side of working in tech.
Every article is written with the goal of clarity, depth, and usefulness — whether you’re a fellow engineer, a team lead, or someone just starting out in DevOps.
Thanks for reading, and feel free to reach out if you’d like to collaborate or discuss any topic further.
When working with production-grade Kubernetes clusters, one thing I’ve learned the hard way is this: “Backups are boring… until you need them.”
So, let me walk you through how I handle backups using a tool I trust — Velero.
Velero is an open-source tool that lets you back up and restore Kubernetes resources and persistent volumes. Think of it as Time Machine for your Kubernetes cluster.
I never planned to become a DevOps engineer.
In fact, I started my career over a decade ago as a backend developer, building APIs and systems for U.S. clients. I spent six years immersed in clean code, business logic, and scaling server-side applications. But as time passed, I realized that writing code was only part of building reliable software — the real magic (and sometimes the chaos) happened after deployment.
