They cover their work with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) — building a scalable Kubernetes-based platform on AWS using Scala/Akka, Kafka, Cassandra, and React to handle 50-60 million mortgage records — and their involvement with the Air Force's Platform One software factory, including tools like Iron Bank (hardened container registry), Big Bang (GitOps-based infrastructure-as-code using Flux v2), and Party Bus (PaaS for DoD apps). Key topics include DevSecOps practices, Continuous ATO (Authority to Operate), load testing with Locust, OPA for policy enforcement, hardware-in-the-loop R&D with Raspberry Pis, and the challenge of abstracting Kubernetes complexity for developers. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
