What happens when 700 t-shirts disappear in hours, your voice slowly gives out, and you end up walking what feels like a hall of fame of cloud native legends? KubeCon Amsterdam, that's what. Day 0: Arrival Made it to Amsterdam. The "I am Amsterdam" sign outside
Introduction Organizations using Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) often need to expose their integrations to external consumers while maintaining robust security. In this post, we'll explore how to deploy Traefik Hub as an API Gateway on Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE) to provide enterprise-grade security for OIC APIs. This architecture
Routing often needs to be more than just simple path matching. You might need to route a specific user to a particular version of a service, or perform identity-based canary releases. This post covers how to use Traefik Hub's Multi-Layer Routing with Entra ID (OIDC) to build a
I had the cool experience of attending the Oracle AI World Tour along with Marta Tolosa. Thanks a lot for the hosting! The event brought together Oracle's top leadership, industry partners, and customers to showcase how AI is transforming enterprise technology. Opening Keynote: Mike Sicilia, CEO of Oracle
Your OpenTelemetry traces tell a story. Each trace is like a book, and every span is a chapter that reveals how a request moves through your system. These traces make behavior visible across services. They show where latency builds up, how dependencies interact, and which components affect performance the most.
Let services breathe. Let developers focus on business logic. Let the API gateway do the heavy lifting. That’s the message I find myself repeating to prospects time and time again. We’ve all seen it: teams deep in debate over whether to build authentication, rate limiting, versioning, or monitoring
The Problem with "Easy" Website Builders For years, my father-in-law's architecture firm TENUR Arquitectura ran its website ( https://www.tenurarquitectura.com) on a popular drag-and-drop platform. Nice templates, SSL included. Set-it-and-forget-it simple. But nobody tells you you're paying a premium for simplicity you might
When I was 12 years old (1998), my English wasn't very good, so my parents sent me to Kingsley Pines Camp in the US with local kids to improve my English. It was my first time on a plane and my first time visiting another country. That decision
LIVE VIDEO DEMO - https://youtu.be/p8MHs0tlv5o?si=LivJoUf9RPbxibSg When running APIs in production, one of the biggest challenges developers face is the gap between tests and real-world usage. No matter how much you simulate, mock requests and handcrafted test cases often fail to expose subtle, real-life problems that
It took longer to write this post than to deploy the full Ghost platform for https://carlosvillanua.com. VillaBytes is now live! This is my spot to share thoughts on Kubernetes, cloud-native stuff, IoT experiments, Traefik setups, and whatever projects come up next. Been wanting a place like this for
This project demonstrates the integration of Traefik Hub with API Management on Akamai Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE), providing a complete solution for modern cloud-native API lifecycle management. Overview Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE) is a fully managed Kubernetes platform that handles cluster management, automatic updates, and high availability while providing seamless
Why This Matters Running Kubernetes at home has traditionally meant dealing with the overhead of full Linux distributions, manual cluster setup, and the complexity of production-grade networking. This repository solves those pain points by leveraging Talos Linux a minimal, immutable, API-driven OS built specifically for Kubernetes - combined with Traefik
