GraphQL can help untangle services by providing clients with a single endpoint where they can get all their data and interact with it uniformly.

One of the key selling points of the BPF subsystem is that loading a BPF program is safe: the BPF verifier ensures that the program cannot hurt the kernel before allowing the load to occur. That guarantee is perhaps losing some of its force as more capabilities are made available to BPF programs but, even so, it may be a bit surprising to see this proposal from Artem Savkov adding a BPF helper that is explicitly designed to crash the system. If this patch set is merged in something resembling its current form, it will be the harbinger of a new era where BPF programs are, in some situations at least, allowed to be overtly destructive.

Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of identifier that enables verifiable, decentralized digital identity. A DID refers to any subject (e.g., a person, organization, thing, data model, abstract entity, etc.) as determined by the controller of the DID. In contrast to typical, federated identifiers, DIDs have been designed so that they may be decoupled from centralized registries, identity providers, and certificate authorities. Specifically, while other parties might be used to help enable the discovery of information related to a DID, the design enables the controller of a DID to prove control over it without requiring permission from any other party. DIDs are URIs that associate a DID subject with a DID document allowing trustable interactions associated with that subject.

GitOps is a methodology for continuous deployment using a Git repository as the single source of truth. The repository contains the YAML manifests or Helm charts for the Kubernetes resources to be created. The Git repo is used to store, track and version control changes to these YAML files.
