Kapstan

After an incredible two-year journey building Kapstan, the time has come for us to say goodbye. We had to make a difficult decision of winding down our operations. While this is the end of the road for Kapstan as a product, it is not the end of what we built together — the friendships, the learnings, and the pride of solving real DevOps problems that matter. We’re deeply grateful to: 💙 Our early customers, who believed in us before it was easy. 💙 Our community and well-wishers, who supported us through the highs and lows.  💙 Our amazing team — the heart of Kapstan — who poured their passion into every line of code, every design, every late-night deploy. From debugging production issues at midnight to celebrating wins as a remote-first crew — this has been a wild, fulfilling ride. We set out to simplify DevOps. And even though the company is shutting down, that vision lives on in the people who built it. You’ll see the spirit of Kapstan in the teams we go on to strengthen, the problems we continue to solve, and the lessons we carry forward. Thank you for being part of our journey. – The Kapstan Team

We’re excited to be at the 3rd edition of #DineWithDevOps today in Bengaluru! 🛠️ Say hello to Saubhagya Maheshwari, Avadhesh Karia and Kushagra S. from team Kapstan — they’ll be around to chat about how we’re helping engineering teams simplify cloud infrastructure, reduce DevOps toil, and ship faster. If you’re navigating Kubernetes, CI/CD, or cloud modernization, come talk to us! 🚀 #DevOps #PlatformEngineering #Kubernetes #Kapstan #DineWithDevOps

You’re not alone if your config is... creative. Vote your current reality — no judgment. Bonus points for stories that start with “soooo we found it in Slack…” 😅

Grateful for moments like these, where remote fades and real connection takes over. Until the next one, team Kapstan! 🙌

🚨 Deployments — Chaos or Control? You ship on a Friday? Either you trust your pipeline… or you enjoy living dangerously. Tell us how often you're pushing code — and how sweaty your palms get. 👇 Drop your team's vibe. Bonus: tag your fearless deploy-er.

Let's be real. We're all in on GitOps because it's awesome for declarative, version-controlled infrastructure and deployments. But for teams moving at lightning speed, constantly shipping features and iterating, relying solely on Git commands and reviewing YAML files for every single thing? It can feel like we're missing a piece of the puzzle. I'm talking about the "missing UI" of GitOps. Don't get me wrong, the core principles are golden. Git as the single source of truth? 🙌 Automated sync? ✨ Auditable history? 🙏 But when you're trying to quickly see the status of 100 microservices across a dozen environments, debug a deployment issue in production right now, or onboard a new developer who isn't a Kubernetes guru yet, the raw Git experience can be a bottleneck. This is where I think the future of GitOps has to evolve. We need that layer that provides: At-a-glance visibility: A dashboard that shows the state of your applications and infrastructure across all environments without digging through repos or running kubectl commands. Easier debugging: A visual way to see what changed, when it changed, and why a deployment might be stuck or failing. Smoother developer experience: Abstracting away some of the underlying complexity so developers can focus on their code, not wrestling with infrastructure details. Simplified management: Making tasks like rollbacks or scaling deployments more intuitive than just reverting a commit or manually editing YAML. Tools are emerging with UI layers (think Argo CD or Flux CD dashboards, and platforms built on GitOps principles) and that's a fantastic start. But for GitOps to truly become the standard and accessible to all fast-moving teams, this "missing UI" needs to become a core, intuitive part of the experience. It's not about replacing Git as the source of truth, but about building a more user-friendly and efficient interface on top of it. THAT is the future of GitOps that will truly empower fast teams to move even faster and with more confidence. What are your thoughts?

Last week’s poll result? Loud and clear: EKS upgrades are confusing, chaotic, and weirdly stressful for something that’s supposed to be “managed.” So we broke it down. What makes EKS upgrades hard, what breaks, and what to watch out for—based on actual war stories, not AWS docs. Written by our very own Ankur K.. Here’s the post: 👉 https://lnkd.in/g-8sgaXZ If “kubectl get nodes” gives you anxiety mid-upgrade, this one’s for you.

Is Kubernetes helping you scale—or scaling your stress? 😅 We get it—Kubernetes can unlock serious power, but the learning curve is real. Wherever you are on the journey, you’re not alone. Let’s chart it out. 🚀 #Kubernetes #k8s #DigitalTransformation #Modernization
