Engineering the platforms that ship software.

I'm Abdulla Fadhel, a sysadmin who loves tech and likes to talk DevOps. I write about infrastructure as code, delivery pipelines, platform engineering and the culture that ties them together.

What I think and write about

  • iac

    Infrastructure as Code

    Terraform, CloudFormation and treating infrastructure like any other software: versioned, reviewed, repeatable.

  • ci/cd

    Delivery pipelines

    Getting from commit to production safely and automatically, with fast feedback at every stage.

  • platform

    Platform engineering

    Internal platforms and golden paths that let product teams ship on their own, without a ticket queue.

  • observe

    Observability

    Metrics, logs and traces: knowing what production is doing before your users tell you.

  • cloud

    Cloud & edge

    Running workloads across cloud providers and at the edge, close to the people using them.

  • culture

    DevOps culture

    Tools help, but the shift is cultural: one team owning the whole lifecycle instead of two throwing work over a wall.
