    Autoscaling Is Automatic but Not Instant: HPA's Timeline, Measured Segment by Segment

    Raise traffic 12x and it takes 31.5 seconds for a new pod to receive its first request. I pulled an itemized bill for those 31.5 seconds with a stopwatch: the structure dominated by the detection window, the conditions under which the autoscaler goes blind in the five minutes right after a deploy, the scale-down staircase, why memory-based HPA misfires on Node, and KEDA's preemptive scaling. Part 5 of the Kubernetes for frontend developers series.

    How Do Pods Terminate? Measuring the Causes and Fixes of Deploy-Time Errors

    Even a deploy that changes not a single line of code leaks errors. This is a measured record of tagging every failure that leaks during rolling deploys by type and timestamp, performing an autopsy on four causes, and stacking prescriptions one layer at a time until the count reaches zero. Includes the actual Next.js shutdown code, hostage draining, and the real CrashLoopBackOff timetable. Part 4 of the Kubernetes for frontend developers series.

    How Does Traffic Reach My Pod? From ClusterIP to port-forward

    A Service's ClusterIP is an IP attached to no machine, yet curl reaches it. iptables rules and conntrack, EndpointSlice, cluster DNS and ndots, Gateway, and port-forward: a record of opening up the entire path a request takes to a pod, directly in a kind cluster. Part 3 of the Kubernetes for frontend developers series.

    How My Next.js App Becomes a Pod: A Record of Opening Up Containers and Pods

    The same Next.js app produced one 1.72GB image and one 208MB image. This post traces the missing 1.5GB back through the layers, and verifies with PIDs and cgroup files that a container is an isolated process. The second post of the Kubernetes for frontend developers series.

    A Kubernetes Concept Map for Frontend Developers: From Pods to Autoscalers

    The Kubernetes vocabulary and structure that frontend developers running SSR actually encounter, organized in the order of real work: the overall cluster structure, what makes up a deploy, pod state and resources, the traffic path, and autoscaling. The first post of the series and the reference map for the rest.

    Why Is Your Node.js Pod That Size? Sizing Measured Firsthand, from NODE_OPTIONS to Pod Count

    I added one GC tuning flag to the same workload and peak RSS jumped from 201MB to 593MB, while the live data stayed the same. This post traces back through V8 New Space with direct measurements to show why that result is exactly what should happen, and lays out the three axes frontend developers can use to size a Node.js pod.
