How Kubernetes requests and limits really work
Posted on November 5, 2024, Level intermediate Resource Length medium
Kubernetes is inarguably an elegant, refined, well-designed edifice of open source enterprise software. It is known. Even so, the internal machinations of this mighty platform tool are shrouded in mystery. Friendly abstractions, like "resource requests" for CPU and memory, hide from view a host of interrelated processes — precise and polished scheduling algorithms, clever transformations of friendly abstractions into arcane kernel features, a perhaps unsurprising amount of math — all conjoining to produce the working manifestations of a user's expressed intent. By Reid Vandewiele.

Enums in Golang: Techniques, best practices, & use cases
Posted on August 4, 2024, Level intermediate Resource Length medium
Enums provide a way to represent a set of named constants. While Go lacks a built-in enum type, developers can emulate enum-like behavior by constants/custom types. Enums play a vital role in programming languages, providing a concise and expressive way to define a set of named constants. While some languages like Java or C# offer built-in support for enums, Go takes a different approach. In Go, enums are not a native language feature, but developers have several techniques at their disposal to achieve similar functionality. By Thuoc Nguyen.
