I was always a tinkerer, I guess. I grew up in the age where computers were not ubiquitous or common. An experience as a kid was instrumental in how my career happened.

If Ingress is the Legacy Path, then the Gateway API is the modern highway. In this guide, I will walk you through a complete migration demonstrating how to swap out your old Ingress controllers for Envoy Gateway. We won't just move traffic; we'll leverage Envoy's power to implement seamless request mirroring and more robust, path-based routing that was previously hidden behind complex annotations.

Building APIs is so simple. Caveat, it's not. Actually, working with tools with no security, you've got a consumer and an API service, you can pretty much get that up and running on your laptop in two or three minutes with some modern frameworks. Then, authentication and authorization comes in. You need a way to model this.

Modern web applications are no longer just "sites." They are long-lived, highly interactive systems that span multiple runtimes, global content delivery networks, edge caches, background workers, and increasingly complex data pipelines. They are expected to load instantly, remain responsive under poor network conditions, and degrade gracefully when something goes wrong.

Almost a quarter of those surveyed said they had experienced a container-related security incident in the past year. The bottleneck is rarely in detecting vulnerabilities, but mainly in what happens next. Weeks or months can pass between the discovery of a problem and the actual implementation of a solution. During that period, applications continued to run with known risks, making organizations vulnerable, reports The Register.

Industry professionals are realizing what's coming next, and it's well captured in a recent LinkedIn thread that says AI is moving on from being just a helper to a full-fledged co-developer - generating code, automating testing, managing whole workflows and even taking charge of every part of the CI/CD pipeline. Put simply, AI is transforming DevOps into a living ecosystem, one driven by close collaboration between human judgment and machine intelligence.

Over the past decade, software development has undergone a massive transformation due to continuous innovations in tools, processors and novel architectures. In the past, most applications were monoliths and then shifted to microservices, and now we find ourselves embracing composability - a paradigm that prioritizes modular, reusable, and flexible software design. Instead of writing separate, tightly coupled applications, developers now compose software using reusable business capabilities that can be plugged into multiple projects. This enables greater scalability, maintainability, and collaboration across teams and organizations. At the heart of this movement is Bit Harmony, a framework designed to make composability a first-class citizen in modern web development.

As organizations increasingly adopt cloud-native architectures, managing communication between microservices becomes a critical challenge. Modern applications are often distributed across multiple Kubernetes pods and ensuring secure, reliable and observable interactions between these services is essential. This is where Istio and Envoy sidecars come into play. Together they form a service mesh solution that abstracts networking complexities, enforces security policies and provides deep observability - all without requiring changes to application code.

The Harness Resilience Testing platform extends the scope of the tests provided to include application load and disaster recovery (DR) testing tools that will enable DevOps teams to further streamline workflows.
