Welcome to this week’s Uptime Sync. This issue covers OpenShift Pipelines’ throughput jump from StatefulSet deployments, GitHub’s reliability crisis as AI-driven growth adds pressure, and the supply chain attack that trojanized Bitwarden CLI. We also examine the silent evidence gap in kubectl debug, 108 Chrome extensions tied to data exfiltration and session theft, and Dropbox’s former most senior engineer on building great systems for the AI era.
On the tutorial front: building agentic GitHub workflows, using RUN instructions in distroless images without a shell, working with Azul Zulu Docker images, FastAPI for MLOps project structure and API best practices, deploying Docker apps to Linux with K3s, and viewing and updating the Linux PATH environment variable.
This week’s projects bring you kubectx for fast Kubernetes context switching, APISIX for cloud-native and AI gateway routing, Caddy for automatic HTTPS and reverse proxying, Gitea for self-hosted Git with integrated CI/CD and registries, and Semaphore for orchestrating Ansible, Terraform, OpenTofu, and Terragrunt from a web UI and REST API.
