At Gojek, I have been playing around with kubernetes for a few months now. Spending more and more time with its command line interface — kubectl
This post talks about extending kubectl with few of the plugins that have been useful to me in day to day debugging/maintaining things on k8s.
Note: I am using zsh, so some of them are ohmyzsh plugins
Lets go through them!
ohmyzsh kubectl
This plugins provides aliases for common kubectl commands. You can get complete list of aliases here — kubectl-aliases

Usually, I forget things that I read but this time to make it persist somehow I thought of documenting it. Thus, this series of posts is an attempt to collate thoughts, blogs and books that connected with me at some level. These are not recommendations but highlights of things that connected with me.
First things first — Why?

TL;DR: This post aims at describing the architectural changes we did in the implementation of Redis for caching at infrastructure and code level over a period of time due to scale and use-cases.
