Anyone know why using the `assert` provider would be preferable to a standard logical operator?
Other than that the provider can do stuff like network calls is there any clear use condition?

Developers should spend their time building software, not managing infrastructure.
That is the idea Upsun has been built around since day one. And it is the same idea that earned us our first inclusion in the IDC ProductScape: Worldwide Cloud Deployment–Centric Application Platforms, 2026.

Hey network! Any Cloud Native or Platform Engineering conferences I should look out for in 2027? This year's list of conferences is getting heavy, but I prefer to be one step ahead 😉

Atlassian по приколу уволила инженера который занимался инфрой... вот...
Чел 40 минут не нарушая НДА (моё почтение гению), рассказывает как устроена инфра у Atlassian 😁

P.S. Попри гучні заголовки, у відео колишній інженер не порушує NDA та не розкриває конфіденційних даних. Це радше якісний розбір архітектурних рішень і досвіду побудови масштабної інфраструктури Atlassian, що підтверджують і технічна спільнота, і сам автор. https://bastyon.com/post?s=ee66225ee4b62985089ed1fc562da39ef8c751f0c3740a33d4971847844bbc6b&ref=PJ51iZCUEtcVrCj4Wof8Am7FbKLgbAJ7PS

Infrastructure that has never been rebuilt is not reproducible; it is just maintained. The difference only becomes visible during recovery, which is the worst https://hackernoon.com/why-infrastructure-platforms-must-be-reproducible #platformengineering

AI agents often look like geniuses in a sandbox but fail the second they hit the real world.
This happens because of the data context gap where agents lack the production identical state needed to solve actual bugs.
Closing this gap allows your senior talent to focus on agent logic rather than fighting with fragile staging environments. 🎯

Learn about Cloudflare's Town Lake, its unified internal data platform, where billing workloads account for 53% of all platform queries.
Built alongside Skipper, an AI-powered analytics agent, Town Lake unifies access to operational, billing, security, and business data that was previously spread across fragmented systems.

How much time does your team really spend on Kubernetes ops?
Upgrades, monitoring, security patches, backups, secret management: what comes after the initial setup is what most teams underestimate. The real question isn't "Can we run Kubernetes?" – it's "Do we want to?" 🤔

Everyone is talking about agentic platforms. Almost nobody can define one.
A platform is a set of paths along a value stream. An agentic platform paves them for agents, not people: the IDP base plus two new layers, path specifications and agent infrastructure.
I sat down with Kaspar von Grünberg to define it, and why the platform team becomes the new IT.

I love this little thing. It started because I needed a quick way to throw a bunch of requests at one of our applications to see if I could get it to show me an empty result set that kept popping up in production and (as they do) one thing turned into another and now it mostly does anything that can be expressed as a series of steps in YAML
Like this Terraform meets GHA abomination that manages my homelab DNS on DME because I cannot be assed to run a DNS server on the same kit I'm labbing and I can't be assed to buy more kit.

If someone needed to get up to speed on #TypeScript what book(s) are best to start with?
I’m decent with Python but have zero JavaScript experience - and it seems I may need to learn how to build #Backstage plugins soon.
I generally prefer hard copy for this kind of thing rather than video courses or purely ebooks if possible. I am a huge fan of #OreillyMedia and #NoStarchPress for what it’s worth.

Has anyone ever read an O’Reilly book that wasn’t an absolute banger?
I’m slowly rebuilding my library (after some years away from “tech”) and I had forgotten how hard they usually hit.

I use it to chain pipelines, and run load tests, and synthetic monitors, and remote probes, and karaoke :)

Most AI agents fail because they are operating in a total data vacuum instead of facing the messy reality of your production stack.
This context gap means your RAG pipelines are essentially guessing and their suggestions will likely break the moment they hit your live environment.
It is time to stop paying the devops tax and give your agents the deterministic sandbox they need to actually deliver results.

We're migrating a bunch of bioinformatics workflows to Nextflow and I need to build some infrastructure around it. Which of course means I need to play with it a bit.
- [x] visual workflow designer
- [x] k8s debugging info for our jobs and pods
- [x] compiler and adhoc task builder
- [x] cryptographically signed event log with payload tracing and resource consumption for billing (we are running a business here after all...)Having the API that backs the UI for [compilation, k8s], the API that receives the traces from our custom `nf-foxfire` observer plugin, and the pipelines that deploy each to [orbstack k8s, coreweave-dev, coreweave-prod] all running as the same engine and basically just a bit of YAML...
...priceless
[yes]

“Prompt engineering” had its moment, but it’s not where real progress is now.
What scales is treating AI as engineering: shared infrastructure, reusable abstractions, and systems with evaluation and governance built in.
A shift from clever prompts to reliable ways of working.

[Перевод] Kubernetes Multitenancy в 2026 году: как мы перестали поддерживать 30 кластеров и наконец сделали все правильно
«У нас тридцать два кластера». Руководитель команды platform engineering произнес это как на исповеди. Тридцать два. В компании с девятью продуктовыми командами. По шесть окружений на каждую. Никто не планировал такого — оно просто росло по одному кластеру за раз, каждый раз, когда команде требовалось что-то чуть иное, а самым простым ответом было «подними новый». Я слышала ту или иную версию этой фразы почти в каждой компании, достигшей определенного размера. Цифра меняется — иногда двенадцать, иногда шестьдесят, — но динамика всегда одна. Kubernetes легко позволяет создавать кластеры, никто намеренно не решал, когда их использовать совместно, а когда нет, и в какой-то момент кто-то смотрит на счет за облако и ротацию дежурств — и понимает, что управление десятками кластеров медленно пожирает платформенную команду заживо. Multitenancy — ответ на эту проблему. Kubernetes не был спроектирован для multitenancy из коробки, и, чтобы построить его правильно, требуются реальные инженерные инвестиции, но именно так зрелые команды platform engineering решают эту задачу в 2026 году — со все более удобным инструментарием и все лучше понятыми паттернами. Команда VK Cloud перевела статью, охватывающую все, что автор узнал о Kubernetes multitenancy в нескольких продакшен-окружениях: какие модели существуют, где каждая из них дает сбой, как выстроить слои изоляции, которые действительно защищают тенантов друг от друга, какие инструменты стоят вашего времени и как выглядит хорошо управляемый общий кластер на практике. Если ваша команда управляет слишком большим количеством кластеров или строит платформу для безопасного обслуживания нескольких команд — это руководство, которого мне так не хватало в начале пути.

Choosing a cloud provider feels like a minor implementation detail until a major prospect refuses to work with you because your infrastructure belongs to their biggest competitor. ☁️
Most platforms lock you into a single provider and can turn a simple regional request into an eighteen month engineering project.
It is time to pick a passport that works in more than one country so you can say yes to every deal. 🚀

Interní platforma nemusí začít velkým vývojářským portálem. Příklad `opr-paas` ukazuje skromnější začátek: tým popíše projekt v YAML a platforma mu podle něj připraví namespacy, práva, kvóty, síťová pravidla i úklid dočasných prostředí. Samotný namespace ale tým v Kubernetes bezpečně neoddělí.

Shadow IT is usually just a polite way of saying your developers found a faster route around your broken infrastructure bottlenecks.
By standardizing the platform layer while giving engineers total freedom in their code, you can finally trade chaos for predictable behavior and sleep better at night. 🎯
Moving to automated guardrails means compliance becomes a deterministic outcome rather than a manual chore. ⚡

Digital Neutrality: Switzerland's Engineering Advantage in the AI Era - watch Aarno Aukia's closing session from yesterday's Swiss Software Festival 2026.
AI writes the code. But who controls the runtime? Aarno makes the case for digital neutrality as an engineering discipline - not a political stance.
