Insights and findings from our daily work

Software development has come a long way from the rigid, rule-based logic that powered early enterprise applications. Traditional software still has its place—especially when consistency, control, and simplicity are key. But as businesses become more data-driven and demand greater adaptability from their systems, there’s growing interest in machine learning (ML) and its potential to enhance applications.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just a buzzword—it’s reshaping industries at an unprecedented pace. According to PwC, AI could contribute up to $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030, with Australia alone projected to capture $315 billion of that value. But businesses can't simply 'buy' AI competency—they need to build it thoughtfully if they want a piece of that future growth. 

Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for container orchestration—and for good reason. According to the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation), 96% of organisations surveyed in 2024 were either using or evaluating Kubernetes. It offers unmatched scalability, flexibility, and resilience. But here’s the reality: Kubernetes isn’t easy. Many businesses rush in thinking Kubernetes will automatically deliver cloud-native utopia—only to end up trapped in a black hole of complexity, spiralling costs, and projects that seem never-ending. 

Kubernetes offers many ways to observe what’s happening in your cluster, but not all tools are created equal. In this post, we compare Grafana’s Kubernetes Pods dashboard to other popular tools like Lens, K9s, and the good old kubectl CLI. If you're new to Kubernetes, this guide will help you understand which tool to use and when. 

Monitoring Kubernetes pods is like checking the health of your application in real time. For developers new to Kubernetes, the Grafana Labs Kubernetes / Views / Pods dashboard offers a visual, easy-to-understand view of what's happening under the hood.  

Microsoft Entra External ID is Microsoft’s next-generation CIAM solution, unifying Azure AD B2C and B2B capabilities into a single, modern platform for managing external users. It offers enhanced security, a streamlined admin experience, and deeper integration with the Microsoft ecosystem.
