This is a moment of pride. Kamaji was the second Open Source project I directed together with Adriano Pezzuto, following the experience of Project Capsule, which we later donated to the CNCF. In 2022, we were the first to go all-in on the concept of the Hosted Control Plane: Kamaji's initial commits even predated those of Red Hat’s Hypershift. The community's reaction to such an innovative project was quite mixed — "running Control Planes inside a management cluster is a single point of failure", "Kubernetes without etcd can't scale", and many other very picky pieces of technical feedback. At the same time, many were asking why another project was needed: Gardener and Kubermatic had already explored Hosted Control Plane, while VCluster was gaining popularity in development and Platform Engineering contexts. Looking back after 3 years of iteration, and after the birth of projects directly inspired by Kamaji such as k0smotron, where do we stand today? Kamaji has become the reference point for Hosted Control Plane architecture. It might sound self-referential, but the fact speaks for itself: Kamaji counts among its adopters some of the most influential names in technology (NVIDIA) and major Service Providers (Rackspace, OVHcloud, IONOS). That is without doubt a success. Despite the challenges of monetizing Open Source, Kamaji has achieved sustainability thanks to a unique mix of factors. Not only an architecture with a lock-in–free, distroless approach (Kamaji offers a vanilla Control Plane), but also the direct feedback from its adopters: organic growth, earned in the field, without paid DevRel to promote it — following the "show me the code" approach. As CLASTIX, back in 2022 we pioneered this vision, validated by facts: we were not only the first, but Kamaji is now the reference architecture for managing Kubernetes at scale. We collaborated with the Cluster API community, and we stayed focused on the vision without distractions from NIH syndrome or engineering hubris. We don't need to reinvent ourselves: CLASTIX is the leader in Hosted Control Plane architecture, period. Vendors are now integrating Kamaji into their commercial solutions — some, like our beloved friends Ænix's Cozystack, in a legitimate way; others simply by wrapping Kamaji, hiding all public references, and passing it off as a proprietary solution, violating the attribution rule by Apache 2.0 license. Either way, we achieved what we wanted: the association between "Kubernetes at scale" and "Kamaji" has been built organically and peer-reviewed. An additional reason proving CLASTIX is a true center of technological excellence.

Devs, we come bearing only good news  🎉 Just launched: monday dev × Cursor integration! We'll let Andrew Milich, Head of Engineering at Cursor, explain why this changes everything: "With the monday dev Cursor extension, developers can manage their tasks directly in Cursor without switching tools. All the surrounding context, from code history to team activity, flows into the editor, making AI-generated code more accurate and useful. Developers stay in control, while teams move forward with less friction."  👉 THIS is the integration developers have been waiting for.

The 7 golden rules every junior (and senior) dev should know before being hired! Forget about building quality software that lasts, something you can be proud of, forget about working on innovating projects….Welcome to the real world, welcome to the jungle. 📌 Rule #1: nobody cares about your innovation or clean code. This place is a whirlwind of tight deadlines and impossible expectations. 📌 Rule #2: forget everything you think you know. 📌 Rule #3: this industry is a jungle, a chaotic cutthroat world where only results matter. 📌 Rule #4: management only cares about deliverables — features pushed out fast, bugs patched quicker and numbers that keep stakeholders happy. 📌 Rule #5: if you wanna survive here, adapt! 📌 Rule #6: cut corners when you have to. Use that vibe coding thing if gets the job done today. 📌 Rule #7: never get to attached to your code. It’s just a means to an end. 💾 Save this. Read it again in 10 years. Thank me later. And please, share it to your “dev” friends before the jungle eats them alive. #dev #ai #coding

If you need more than 2 months to find a new contract + you are a senior software developer with a specialization that is not extinct. There is something seriously wrong with one or multiple of these: - search strategy - profile - cv - story - credibility - pricing - preparation

A while ago, I posted about a Performance Testing workshop I conducted. Back then, I didn’t get the chance to share the presentation itself. This is the previous post if you want to take a look 👇 https://lnkd.in/dTHe3Wd8 Now I’ve enhanced the presentation, and I’m happy to share it with you all 🤝 because I believe that knowledge grows when shared. In this workshop, I walked through: 🔹 Why performance testing is critical in real projects. 🔹 Performance Testing Types. 🔹 Key KPIs every tester should understand 🔹 Common Performance Bottlenecks. 🔹 Testing Process (PTLC) 🔹 Tools and approaches to get started 🔹 Frequently Asked Interview Questions. 🔹 JMeter GUI and CMD commands. 🔹 A Roadmap to dive more into Performance Testing. I know how challenging it can feel when you’re just starting, so I hope this presentation makes the path a little clearer. Resources that helped me prepare this workshop: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dyXGWpYn 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dAd_BT-t 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dQM4zxJD 🔗 https://lnkd.in/diqpHJ9h Thanks to Mr.Raghav Pal and Mr.Rahul Shetty (Venkatesh) for facilitating these concepts 👏 💬 If you check it out and have any questions, feel free to reach out. I’ll be glad to help as much as I can. #SoftwareTesting #PerformanceTesting #KnowledgeSharing #TestingCommunity #LearningJourney #Workshop #Testing #PTLC #KPIs #Performance #Bottlenecks #Presentation
