Configure CircleCI workflows and orbs for continuous integration and deployment. Create config.yml pipelines, use orbs for reusable configurations, and optimize build performance. Use when working with CircleCI for CI/CD automation.
Build, test, and deploy applications using GitHub Actions workflows. Create CI/CD pipelines, configure runners, manage secrets, and automate software delivery. Use when working with GitHub repositories, automating builds, running tests, or deploying applications.
Configure GitLab CI/CD pipelines and runners for automated building, testing, and deployment. Create .gitlab-ci.yml configurations, manage runners, and implement DevOps workflows. Use when working with GitLab repositories or self-hosted GitLab instances.
Create and manage Jenkins CI/CD pipelines, configure agents, manage plugins, and automate builds. Use when working with Jenkins servers, creating Jenkinsfiles, or setting up build automation for enterprise environments.
Manage container registries including ECR, ACR, GCR, and Docker Hub. Push and pull images, configure authentication, set up repository policies, and implement image lifecycle management. Use when working with container image storage and distribution.
Define and run multi-container Docker applications using Docker Compose. Create compose files, manage service dependencies, configure networks and volumes, and orchestrate local development environments. Use when setting up multi-service applications or development environments.
Build, optimize, and troubleshoot Docker containers and images. Create efficient Dockerfiles, manage container lifecycle, configure networking and volumes, and debug container issues. Use when working with Docker, containerization, or container troubleshooting.
Manage containers using Podman, the daemonless container engine. Run rootless containers, create pods, manage images, and use Docker-compatible commands. Use when working with Podman or requiring rootless container operations.
Create reproducible development environments with Dev Containers, Nix flakes, and Devbox for consistent toolchains across teams. Use when onboarding developers, standardizing build environments, or eliminating "works on my machine" problems.
Set up alerting rules, configure on-call rotations, and manage incident response workflows. Integrate with PagerDuty, Opsgenie, or Grafana OnCall for alert routing and escalation. Use when implementing alerting strategies and on-call management for production systems.
Implement Datadog monitoring and APM for infrastructure and applications. Configure agents, create dashboards, set up alerts, and implement distributed tracing. Use when implementing enterprise monitoring, APM, or unified observability platforms.
Use eBPF for deep kernel-level observability — trace syscalls, network flows, and application behavior without code changes using Cilium, Tetragon, and bpftrace.
Deploy and manage the ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) for log aggregation and analysis. Configure log pipelines, create visualizations, and implement log-based monitoring. Use when centralizing logs, implementing search functionality, or building log analytics platforms.
Configure Grafana Loki for log aggregation and analysis. Set up Promtail for log collection, write LogQL queries, and integrate with Grafana for visualization. Use when implementing lightweight log aggregation, especially in Kubernetes environments.
Configure New Relic observability platform for infrastructure and application monitoring. Set up APM agents, create dashboards, configure alerts, and implement distributed tracing. Use when implementing full-stack observability with New Relic One.
Instrument applications and infrastructure with OpenTelemetry for unified traces, metrics, and logs. Use when implementing distributed tracing, service-level troubleshooting, or vendor-neutral observability.
Set up metrics collection and visualization with Prometheus and Grafana. Configure scrape targets, create PromQL queries, build dashboards, and implement alerting. Use when implementing monitoring, metrics collection, or visualization for applications and infrastructure.
Design and operationalize SRE dashboards that surface reliability, latency, error, saturation, and capacity signals across services. Use when building observability views for SLOs, incident response, and executive reliability reporting.
Implement GitOps with ArgoCD for declarative Kubernetes deployments. Configure applications, manage sync policies, implement progressive delivery, and automate deployments from Git repositories. Use when implementing GitOps workflows or continuous deployment to Kubernetes.
