Technical writing on platform engineering, Kubernetes, observability, and game-server infrastructure.
I've rebuilt the same platform more than once across my career. Golden paths are what make the work transfer, not just the knowledge. Kickoff to a series on building baseline golden paths from real platform work: Crossplane XRDs, Backstage scaffolding, Argo CD at 110 apps on 10 clusters, and why the opt-out clause is the whole trick.
How I replaced per-backend Crossplane Compositions with a single Go orchestrator function, and the exact setup a team runs to consume PostgresInstance and ObjectBucket.
How I build a self-service observability stack on top of Hiroba primitives using KRO ResourceGraphDefinitions and Argo CD — with the failures it took to get there.
Golden paths reduce cognitive load, standardize deployments, and let product teams move fast without breaking infrastructure.
