Massdriver simplifies cloud monitoring with an intuitive graph of in-context metrics, allowing for quick creation of dashboards, alarm setting, and efficient system troubleshooting.

A Critique of How We've Fooled Ourselves for Years.

At Massdriver.cloud, we are always keen to bring you the latest insights and thought leadership in the world of platform engineering and DevOps. Our latest podcast episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of cloud infrastructure and its evolution.

Generating OpenTofu or Terraform from existing cloud resources is a tedious process fraught with gotchas. It's not a silver bullet for click-ops debt. This post will discuss caveats of tools and different approaches to generating IaC.

GitOps isn’t the right fit for modern Ops, DevOps, or platform engineering. Learn why static workflows fail to address dynamic cloud complexity and explore better tools for managing real-time infrastructure.

Using common DevOps tooling shouldn't be this hard.

Improving your organization's position in the DevOps Maturity Model involves focusing on specific practices, tools, and processes that align with the capabilities and needs of each maturity level.

A misaligned text bug that was not CSS.

Most Infrastructure as Code implementations expose too much complexity, forcing developers to make infrastructure decisions they shouldn’t have to. This post explores why generic IaC modules fail, how to design abstractions that encode organizational standards while intentionally omitting irrelevant configurations, and how to shift ops from gatekeeping to enablement.

The CIDR problem, and how we fixed it with Auto-CIDR

The Massdriver bundle spec helps engineers provision applications and infrastructure in the cloud while shrinking the surface area of the cloud API

Operations engineering is stuck in the past. This post breaks down why ops hasn’t had the same revolution as software development, explores the limits of DevOps, and argues for scaling expertise through reusable tools and clean abstractions. It’s time for ops to adopt lessons from software engineering and move the industry forward.

For teams ingrained in DevOps practices, this term ushers in a broader horizon, a fresh perspective on managing infrastructure. But what does Platform Engineering offer, especially for those adept in DevOps?
