Manual tester turned developer advocate. I talk about Cloud Native, Kubernetes & DevOps to help others adopt cloud native. I also create content – blog posts, webinars – & host Twitter spaces and strongly believe in collaborative learning and growth.
In addition, I'm also a CNCF Ambassador and the organizer of CNCF Hyderabad. When I am not working, I’m a food & travel blogger & love exploring eateries & going on road trips. You can find me at @TheTechMaharaj on Twitter.
Platform Abstractions an Asset or Liability? - Let’s Understand The Abstraction Debt Trap
Developers often spend hours configuring Kubernetes manifests, wrestling with CI/CD pipelines, or implementing the right network policy. Platforms help solve this by providing abstractions—simple interfaces that hide complexity. But here’s the challenge: the more we abstract, the more rigid our platforms become.
When teams need to deploy slightly differently, they either fight the platform or work around it. This is the Abstraction Debt Trap, where yesterday’s simplification becomes today’s bottleneck.
In this talk, I’ll introduce the concept of Abstraction Elasticity, a measurable way to build platform capabilities that bend without breaking. I’ll also show ways to implement composable abstractions, build APIs that adapt to team maturity, and create flexible guardrails.
Using examples and code, I’ll show you how to measure your platform’s abstraction health, implement adaptable interfaces, and build platforms that grow with your teams and not restrict them.
Code, Prompt, or Both? Choices That Matter in Building Cloud Native Applications
As developers we always have this one question “Should I ask AI or code it myself?” From GitHub Copilot to ChatGPT, AI coding assistants have redefined the way we build our applications.
But when working with cloud native technologies, should you prompt AI or write code? AI coding assistants promise faster development, but coding them yourself gives you full control and flexibility. AI excels at templating, troubleshooting, generating boilerplate code, and debugging common issues. However, it falls short where human expertise is crucial - building distributed systems, scalability, security, etc.
In this talk, we'll examine when AI truly accelerates development and when it becomes a bottleneck through real-world scenarios. using AI tools and scenarios. We'll also provide a decision making framework with guidelines that participants can use to maximize productivity while choosing between AI assistants and human expertise.
Are You Really Ready To Adopt A Platform?
Everyone is talking about platforms and why not, they bring in a lot of benefits when it comes to agility and flexibility to your software development process. But are you really ready to adopt a platform?
Implementing a platform isn't just about the tools, tech and integrations. There are people, processes and culture involved too. This talk will focus on organization readiness and present you with a checklist that'll help you check your preparedness to adopt a platform.
Throughout the checklist, we'll focus on all the critical aspects right from identifying key stakeholders, investments, implementation and other critical processes that are linked to the successful adoption of your platform. The checklist will lead you to the Platform maturity model that will further help you evolve and mature your platform over time.
So, are you really ready to adopt a platform? Join in to find the answer.
Mastering Myself Before Mastering Kyverno - Lessons Learned From Authoring My First Course
They say the best way to learn is by teaching. Back in college, I was the go-to guy for my friends, breaking down complex concepts that helped them ace their exams. Little did I know that those late-night dorm sessions were preparing me for a future course author.
Fast-forward to 2024, I co-authored the Mastering Kubernetes Security with Kyverno course for The Linux Foundation. It was my first time creating a cloud native course for students and professionals.
In this talk, I’ll share my experience of grappling with my knowledge gaps and shed light on the process of building a course. I’ll also focus on things that I missed and learned along the way—spending countless hours building real-world hands-on examples and refining the text so that everyone can understand it.
Join me in this talk to learn how to build a course, strategies for content creation, how to manage imposter syndrome, and how to deliver a great learning experience from a first-time course creator.
