    Production-Grade Container Scheduling and Management

    Project mention: Autonomous SRE: Revolutionizing Reliability with AI, Automation, and Chaos Engineering | dev.to | 2025-06-24

    Self-Healing Pods/Containers: Platforms like Kubernetes inherently offer self-healing capabilities, automatically restarting or rescheduling unhealthy containers or pods to maintain desired service levels. This is fundamental to cloud-native resilience.

  4. Netdata

    The open-source observability platform everyone needs

    Project mention: CPU & Memory Monitoring 101: How to Check, Analyze, and Optimize System Performance | dev.to | 2025-05-14

    Netdata: Provides beautiful, real-time dashboards for visualizing system metrics ( https://www.netdata.cloud ).

  5. traefik

    The Cloud Native Application Proxy

    Project mention: Save time with sumsummary.com! | dev.to | 2025-06-08

    Hetzner, Docker, Traefik as proxy and Apache / httpd inside the containers

  6. minio

    MinIO is a high-performance, S3 compatible object store, open sourced under GNU AGPLv3 license.

    Project mention: MinIO Removes Web UI Features from Community Version, Pushes Users to Paid Plans | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-05-30

    It's odd that it's the UI they removed (which was always lacking features anyway, like lifecycle configuration) instead of replication support which feels more enterprisesque.

    It's also perhaps worth pointing out that they once had a very strange interpretation of AGPL that caused quite the drama some years ago: https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/13308#issuecomment-929...

    > Also, just want to mention that the AGPL license requires that all software connecting with MinIO be 100% open source for you/your users not to be in violation of the license.

    That's the type of people we are dealing with here, probably best to stay away from it. If AGPL itself didn't already deter you.

  7. etcd

    Distributed reliable key-value store for the most critical data of a distributed system

    Project mention: Explore the essentials of ETCD, a powerful distributed database | dev.to | 2025-05-09

    🦍 The Cloud-Native API Gateway and AI Gateway.

    Project mention: What's the best Binance trading bot? | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-05-22
  11. istio

    Connect, secure, control, and observe services.

    Project mention: Istio vs. Linkerd: Choosing the Right Service Mesh for Your Tech Team | dev.to | 2025-05-20
  12. ToolJet

    Low-code platform for building business applications. Connect to databases, cloud storages, GraphQL, API endpoints, Airtable, Google sheets, OpenAI, etc and build apps using drag and drop application builder. Built using JavaScript/TypeScript. 🚀

    Project mention: Show HN: ToolJet 3.0 – open-source internal tool and workflow builder | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-11-13
  13. Portainer

    Making Docker and Kubernetes management easy.

    Project mention: HomeLab | dev.to | 2025-06-17

    Since I'm not using Kubernetes/K3S to manage the orchestration, I simply use Docker Compose files, which I manage in folders and track with Git. Secrets and credentials are stored securely using .env files — nothing is hardcoded. For maintenance, I use Portainer. The whole Docker management and Ubuntu itself run on the internal SSD for the fastest speed possible, ensuring no other services interfere.

  14. LocalAI

    :robot: The free, Open Source alternative to OpenAI, Claude and others. Self-hosted and local-first. Drop-in replacement for OpenAI, running on consumer-grade hardware. No GPU required. Runs gguf, transformers, diffusers and many more models architectures. Features: Generate Text, Audio, Video, Images, Voice Cloning, Distributed, P2P inference

    Project mention: Nvidia on NixOS WSL – Ollama up 24/7 on your gaming PC | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-10

    If you're going to run Ollama in Windows anyway, why not use the native build? And if you want to use WSL, then I'd sugggest using something like LocalAI which gives you a lot more control and support for additional formats (GGML, GGUF, GPTQ, ONNX, etc).

  15. Nacos

    an easy-to-use dynamic service discovery, configuration and service management platform for building AI cloud native applications.

  16. Dokku

    Project mention: Building an Online Code Compiler: A Complete Guide | dev.to | 2025-06-24

    Minikube - Local Kubernetes cluster

  18. k9s

    🐶 Kubernetes CLI To Manage Your Clusters In Style!

    Project mention: Containerization is a Swift package for running Linux containers on macOS | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-09

    I mean, it's nice to have a GUI when running multiple containers on Docker, or Kubernetes, but I've never used Docker Desktop on my work Mac either.

    For Kubernetes, something like K9s [1] or Headlamp [2] works fine. I remember seeing something similar for Docker but I can't remember the name.

  19. k3s

    Lightweight Kubernetes

    Project mention: Setting up a Docker Hub pull-through cache with Tigris | dev.to | 2025-06-24

    A server with Docker and Docker Compose installed or a Kubernetes cluster with HTTP ingress set up (such as with k3s and Traefik)

  20. consul

    Consul is a distributed, highly available, and data center aware solution to connect and configure applications across dynamic, distributed infrastructure.

    Project mention: A Guide to Setting up Service Discovery for APIs | dev.to | 2025-04-29

    Consul, HashiCorp's distributed system tool, isn't just a one-trick pony for service discovery—it's a Swiss Army knife that also handles configuration management and network segmentation.

  21. 90DaysOfDevOps

    This repository started out as a learning in public project for myself and has now become a structured learning map for many in the community. We have 3 years under our belt covering all things DevOps, including Principles, Processes, Tooling and Use Cases surrounding this vast topic.

  22. helm

    The Kubernetes Package Manager

    Project mention: Scaling PostgreSQL with Kubernetes | dev.to | 2025-05-27

    helm

  23. podman

    Podman: A tool for managing OCI containers and pods.

    Project mention: Building an Online Code Compiler: A Complete Guide | dev.to | 2025-06-24

    Podman - Alternative container runtime

  24. trivy

    An open source trusted cloud native registry project that stores, signs, and scans content.

    Project mention: Your laptop can run a full devops stack here’s how I set mine up | dev.to | 2025-06-19

    Push and pull images without Docker Hub rate limits. Harbor has a slick UI and RBAC. Docker Registry UI is minimal and works well.
