Writing on Developer Experience, Cloud Native, AI and more.

All of my long-form thoughts on developer experience, cloud native, AI and more.

>Zombie Workloads Haunt Data Center Efficiency Efforts
Sep 17, 2026
[Data Center Knowledge]

How idle and abandoned computational jobs are consuming GPU capacity and power in data centers, undermining efficiency efforts at a time when AI infrastructure investment is at an all-time high.

>Kubernetes: 5 Questions for Graziano Casto
Sep 8, 2026
[Codemotion]

An interview on Kubernetes' In-Place Pod Resize feature: how it tackles resource over-provisioning, reduces cloud costs, and what the ecosystem still needs to make dynamic resource scaling truly seamless.

>Why goodput matters more than throughput for LLM serving
Jul 20, 2026
[CNCF]

Throughput tells you how many requests your LLM serving stack processes per second. Goodput tells you how many of those actually met your latency targets. The gap between them is where your real performance story lives.

>Your GPUs Are 95% Idle, and Buying More Won’t Fix It
Jun 29, 2026
[Akamas]

GPU utilization for LLM inference often sits as low as 5%, yet most teams respond by buying more hardware instead of tuning what they already have. Learn why the real bottleneck is configuration, not capacity, and how to unlock 2x throughput from existing GPUs.

>Transforming optimization into an invisible platform capability
May 19, 2026
[platformengineering.org]

Break the FinOps/SRE/Developer friction by transforming optimization into an automated, invisible platform capability. Achieve continuous cost and performance balance through GitOps.

>The state of AI in CNCF projects: A first look at the data
Apr 29, 2026
[CNCF]

A first look at survey data from 133 contributors across nearly 100 CNCF projects, revealing how AI tools like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot are reshaping open-source workflows and why governance policies haven't kept pace.

>The Michelin Star Dilemma and the Secret to a Perfect Service
Apr 24, 2026
[Akamas]

FinOps wants savings. SREs want reliability. Developers just want to ship. See how Akamas Insights aligns teams around one shared view of Kubernetes efficiency.

>Observability on the Edge With OTel and FluentBit
Apr 23, 2026
[DZONE]

Design an edge observability pipeline using OpenTelemetry and Fluent Bit to capture, sample, and reliably process telemetry under strict bandwidth limits.

>The State of Cloud Native Optimization 2026
Apr 16, 2026
[Akamas]

Cloud native optimization 2026 explores trends, challenges, and gaps in Kubernetes, FinOps, and platform engineering.

>Making Efficiency a Platform Capability
Feb 27, 2026
[VMBlog]

Stop treating cloud efficiency as a quarterly cleanup. Learn how to transform optimization into a core platform capability by bridging the gap between SRE reliability and FinOps goals.
