In this article, I talk about the trie data structure and use it to create a solver for a word puzzle game I play on my mobile phone. In the process of trie-ing to find words (get it!), we also see a simple example of breadth first search at play.

DevOps is becoming a ubiquitous practice among modern software organizations, and a critical aspect of DevOps are CI/CD pipelines (continuous integration, delivery, and deployment). This article focuses on building CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, Kubernetes/Openshift, Buildah, and Helm. I will build two CI/CD pipelines. Both build, deploy, and release a sample web application. One deploys the application to any Kubernetes cluster using a Gitflow branching model, while the other deploys specifically to Openshift (Red Hat’s managed Kubernetes offering) and uses Trunk development branching model. What the hell does all this mean? Let’s dig in.

Still doing all your Linux container management using an insecure, bloated daemon? Well, don’t feel bad. I was too until very recently. Now I’m finding myself slowly saying goodbye to my beloved Docker daemon and saying hello to Buildah, Podman, and Skopeo. In this article, I explore the exciting new world of rootless and daemon-less Linux container tools.

This is the last part of the series. In this video I put together everything I have done so far in the previous videos of the series to build a simple web service application using Go. I leverage all the linked list work from before to build a Task Master application that maintains a prioritized list of tasks and assigns them to workers on demand.

This is the fifth part of the series. In this video I explore everything that Go has to offer towards concurrency. So join me as I make a thread safe version of the linked list from the previous videos and in the process play with mutexes, channels, and wait groups.
