Series
AWS Daily with Divine
Daily AWS scenarios from production. Real problems, real fixes, the practical knowledge AWS docs don't teach.
Series
K8s with Divine
Kubernetes deep dives covering the operational details most engineers miss, eviction order, resource requests, DaemonSets, and more.
Series
Notes from Production
Longer-form essays on building, shipping, and operating real systems with real users.
