DevOps

I run 63 Docker containers on a 16GB AWS instance serving 100+ users across 48 services. Here's how I keep it running for $87/month when SaaS would cost $1,200.

After a decade building integrations with ADP, Workday, Okta, and Entra ID, I've learned that SCIM is a guideline, not a spec. Here's what actually works.

Three years ago my homelab was a Raspberry Pi running Pi-hole and a Plex server. Today it's a multi-node cluster handling production workloads

The final piece of the rebuild: how I use Ansible and Git to automate service deployment, node setup, and config management across my homelab—so I can rebuild fast when it matters.

How I set up centralized authentication using Authentik for my homelab. With SSO, role-based access, and Traefik middleware, I finally have a login system that just works.

How I deployed Traefik in my MicroK8s cluster using static and dynamic configs. With per-service TOML files, Let's Encrypt, and zero drama, Traefik remains a cornerstone in my homelab setup.
