I have been working with Kubernetes in production for 2 years now. Over this time we have migrated 3 or 4 times clusters, changed techniques and tools of deployments, changed habit's or pushed back to some of the hype and trends coming up every day on the kubernetes scene. I guess nothing new here, this is what almost …

Δεν είναι λίγες οι φορές που πιάνουμε τη συζήτηση με φίλους και γνωστούς εδώ στα ξένα, για υποθετικά σενάρια επιστροφής στην Ελλάδα. Ιδιαίτερα αν η παρέα σας ή ο κύκλος σας έχει να κάνει με την πληροφορική, τέτοιες συζητήσεις μπορεί να είναι αρκετά συχνές, μιας και ανήκουμε σε μια αγορά που δίνει ευκαιρίες παντού· γι' …

Disclaimer - don't shoot the pianist it's been some time since I wanted to write this post. For those that are going to read it, I need to say that a) I hate the term DevOPs as a way to label engineers b) I'm a software developer, so I am the type of guy who really enjoys high-level languages like Java/ Kotlin etc and …

Χάζευα κάτι στο twitter, σχετικό με agile, scrum και λοιπές μεθοδολογίες και θεωρίες. Θυμήθηκα πριν πολλά χρόνια, στην Ελλάδα σε μια εταιρία που δούλευα, είχα βρεθεί κάτι σαν lead μιας μικρή ομάδας για ένα project, τότε ήταν οι εποχές του agile manifesto, και του scrum all the things. Τα διάβαζα τότε στο internet και …

Στο γυρισμό από τις διακοπές μας στην Ελλάδα, αγόρασα στο αεροδρόμιο το πιο πρόσφατο βιβλίο του [Γ.Bαρουφάκη](https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%93%CE%B9%CE%AC%CE%BD%CE%B7%CF%82_%CE%92%CE%B1%CF%81%CE%BF%CF%85%CF %86%CE%AC%CE%BA%CE%B7%CF%82) με τίτλο Adults in the room'. Δε θα το κρύψω, το αγόρασα από νεύρο, ίσως μια …

The other day, I was chatting with my friend Stathis about command line tools that I use every day, extra to kubectl, operating on different kube clusters in production. Command line tools ** kubetail** Allows you to tail logs from one or more pods simultaneously. It is really handy since you only have to specify the …

Yesterday I had the pleasure to attend the very first Voxxed Days Athens. As I have written 6 months ago while attending Voxxed Days Thesalloniki, this was the day I've waiting for too many years, a proper conference, with top class speakers on the main IT hub of Greece, Athens. Once again, congrats to Patroklos …

Lately I try to level up my skills with Kotlin, mostly from the view point of a JVM backend developer. I really feel very motivated and enthusiastic, I think the language has the right balance to make me feel like home (I am a hardcore Java developer after all) but at the same time give me new skills. As I've said …

With one day delay here is my second day review of Devoxx UK 2017. Front End for Back End developers, Matt Raible I personally don't fancy front-end development mostly because of my dislike towards JavaScript, but I do like to stay in touch with the technology trends, understand the basics of the frameworks. Most of …

So, Devoxx Uk 2017. For me it's a 10 year anniversary for one of the best European and now global developer conferences. I still remember my first 2007 Javapolis at Antwrep, it's the conference I got to meet and get in touch with the broader Java community and people like Stephan J. The conference that I managed to …
