[HN Gopher] Good CI/CD and SRE Blogs

Good CI/CD and SRE Blogs
Are there any good blogs that focus on CI/CD pipelines and SRE
without a ton of fluff? I feel like the space moves fast, and I
need a way to keep up with it better. In an ideal world I would
want to see best practices for different tools, and pipelines so I
can evaluate them and adopt what makes sense.

|
| In the Operations space my favorite writer is Charity Majors,
| although a lot of what she talks about isn't OPs specific:

|
| Rachel by the Bay is also great:

|
| Totally not related, but Phil Eaton's posts on how databases work
| are super interesting and lack fluff.

|
| In terms of CI and builds, I try to write some on this topic for
| the Earthly Blog. My Bazel article was recently on Hn. Here are
| my posts:

|
| Warning though, I also write about lots of other stuff. Are there
| specific CI topics you'd like to see covered?

| That is a good read thank you.

| Kind of you to share, Adam! You have awesome podcast episodes

| Some specifics sure. I'm looking more into general trends like
| when creating a Docker image it's a good idea to X, Y, Z and we
| use this tool to satisfy X.
|
| Or Docker images have K, L problems that Podman doesn't have.
| However Podman has W issue so you have to decide which pain you
| want to live with.
|
| That kind of stuff.

| Good question, would love to also know about some great blogs

| I write a lot about CI/CD at my job (unsurprising as we are a CI

| itself, most of the articles you'll find are more general:

|
| We also have a podcast about engineering that frequently touches
| CI/CD as a topic:

| I started a series recently

| context for future posts.

| - Quastor (https://www.quastor.org/) - Moreso focused on backend
| engineering but they have a lot of SRE content too. It's a
| newsletter that looks at all the big tech engineering blogs and
| sends out summaries of the interesting posts.
|
| - SRE Weekly (https://sreweekly.com/) - Curation newsletter on
| interesting links in SRE
|
| - SRE Prodcast (https://sre.google/prodcast/) - Good podcast by
| Google on SRE. They pick a specific topic and then interview an
| expert on that so each episode is well focused. They also provide
| transcripts so you can just read through it instead of listening.
|
| - Resilience in Action
| (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/resilience-in-action/i...)
| - Another good podcast on SRE with interviews.
|
| If you just want a listen of resources, then you should check out
| the Awesome SRE repo on github -
