Running your own PaaS and infrastructure on machines you own
slip Promises Zero-Downtime Deploys From CI Without Kubernetes: What the Thinnest Deploy Primitive Covers, and What Breaks at Machine #2
slip is a Rust daemon that turns a CI webhook into a health-gated blue-green deploy on one server — previews, TLS, and rollback included. This breakdown maps what the thin loop genuinely covers against what breaks the day you need a second machine.
Stop Passing Service Account Tokens to CSI Drivers in Volume Context: What the v1.35 Token-in-Secrets Fix Means for Your Storage Layer
CSI drivers received workload-identity tokens in a log-visible gRPC map, and two CVEs printed them into driver logs. How the v1.35 secrets-field fix works, the rollout order that avoids breaking mounts, and how to audit your fleet.
Strimzi Eases Kafka Onto Kubernetes: What 'Just Run Our Event Bus' Really Costs a Self-Hosted PaaS
A tenant asked your platform team to 'just run Kafka.' This breakdown prices a Strimzi-hosted event bus against MSK, Confluent Cloud, and serverless options — with a reference workload, sensitivity ranges, and a documented build-or-BYO decision checklist.
Synacktiv's Unpatched Argo CD Repo-Server Flaw: Why Any Pod That Can Reach the gRPC Service Is Equivalent to an Authenticated Attacker
Argo CD's repo-server exposes an unauthenticated gRPC endpoint that turns any pod with network reachability into a path to cluster takeover. This breakdown covers Synacktiv's exploit chain, which installs are exposed, and the exact NetworkPolicies that close it.
E2B vs Daytona vs Modal: Picking an Agent Sandbox You Can Self-Host
E2B, Daytona, and Modal now ship as native providers in the OpenAI Agents SDK — but only one is still open-source and self-hostable. A numbers-backed comparison of boot times, isolation tech, GPUs, and licenses, with a build-vs-integrate verdict for self-hosted PaaS roadmaps.
60 Million AI Code Reviews Later: The CI Gate Your Self-Hosted PaaS Should Steal
GitHub processed 60M+ AI code reviews in 2026 while AI-written code shipped roughly 1.7x more defects per pull request. Here is the multi-agent review pattern behind the numbers, and how to wire it into a self-hosted PaaS pipeline as a proper CI gate.
The Four Capabilities an AI Coding Agent's Deploy Sandbox Actually Needs in 2026
Sub-second provisioning, hardware-isolated execution, agent-readable validation, and canary rollback: the four capabilities a deploy sandbox needs before an AI coding agent can ship unsupervised — scored against what a self-hosted Kubernetes fleet already provides.
Your Agent Can Call 7,000 SaaS APIs. Can It Deploy to a Machine You Own?
Arcade.dev gives agents 7,500+ SaaS tools behind brokered OAuth; Capix MCP gives them 37 tools that deploy models, provision GPUs, and emit signed receipts. Only one of those surfaces operates infrastructure you own — here is the checklist your PaaS MCP server still has to complete.
Cluster API v1.12: Update the Node, Don't Replace It — What In-Place Updates and Chained Upgrades Buy a Hetzner Fleet on Talos
Cluster API v1.12 trades full machine rollouts for in-place updates and multi-version chained upgrades — a change that saves real time and money on bare-metal Hetzner fleets running Talos. Here is what converges in place, what still replaces, and the operator rule for telling them apart.
