NGINX sits between your users and your application. Before a single request reaches your code, NGINX is parsing configs, terminating SSL, rewriting URLs, and logging everything. All of this overhead. All of this complexity. The Ingress-NGINX controller is being retired in March 2026. About 50% of cloud-native setups depend on it. No more fixes. No more patches. Migrating means rewriting ingress configs across hundreds of services. Staying means increasing security risk. Pick your poison. ...

Kubernetes was built to orchestrate Google’s global infrastructure. You are not Google. Terribly sorry. 82% of container users run Kubernetes in production. Most of them shouldn’t. The Control Plane Tax Before your application serves a single request, Kubernetes needs etcd chewing through 2-8 GB RAM per node. Then kube-apiserver, kube-scheduler, kube-controller-manager, kubelet (reserving 25% of node memory by default), CoreDNS, kube-proxy, and a CNI plugin. All of this before your code runs. ...

A practical look at why simple TTL cache primitives improve clarity, performance, and reliability in distributed platform codebases.

Most Raft implementations look great in theory and fall apart in practice. The algorithm itself isn’t the problem—it’s everything around the algorithm that breaks in production: bootstrapping, discovery, leader routing, rejoin behavior, and what happens when nodes start out of order or the network is unreliable. Taubyte’s Raft wraps HashiCorp Raft and adapts it with libp2p transport, Taubyte discovery, and datastore-backed persistence. The goal isn’t to reinvent consensus—it’s to make consensus operable. Nodes can start in any order and converge to a working cluster without static seed lists or fragile bootstrap rituals. This article explores how Taubyte’s Raft addresses the operational challenges that make Kubernetes/etcd fragile and compares it to typical Raft libraries.

Secret management in the age of AI agents requires rethinking trust boundaries. The critical question is no longer who can access secrets, but where plaintext can ever exist.

A deep dive into secret management threat models in the age of AI agents. The critical question is no longer who can access secrets, but where plaintext can ever exist, and what that implies for risk, blast radius, and operational burden.

How Tau’s Cloud Development Kit approach helps teams start faster with fewer setup mistakes and more repeatable project structure.

You’ve built your project locally—now it’s time to go live. Learn how to import your project into a production Taubyte cloud and trigger builds, whether you’ve been developing on main or a feature branch.

Follow best practices for feature development by using Git branches with Taubyte. Learn how to run Dream on development branches, create new branches in the console, and merge changes to production.

Taubyte includes a built-in CI/CD system that automatically builds and deploys your code when you push to GitHub. Learn how it works, how to configure builds, and how serverless functions compile to WebAssembly.
