My journey with Google cloud Run Google Cloud Run is one of the few services of Google Cloud that I find myself cheating on AWS. This is the most politically correct way to describe my journey with Cloud Run. It's been almost a year now that I have started using Google Cloud Run as my de-facto deployment solution for …

Some Kubernetes cheering! As I have written in previous posts, when you start investigating and working with all these new and shiny container / orchestration technologies, there is a high chance that you will end up lost in translation.

My exposure to systems and technologies like Hadoop or other NoSQL specific DB systems …

Πριν από μερικές μέρες ολοκλήρωσα την ανάγνωση του τελευταίου βιβλίου από τον γνωστό μας (πια), Michael Lewis.
