# Find your K8s happy path, with @RawkodeAcademy

**[Bret Fisher](https://daily.dev/sources/bretfisher)** · 51 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

David Flanigan (RawkodeAcademy) discusses his newly launched 'Tech Matrix' — an opinionated guide to the cloud-native/Kubernetes ecosystem designed to cut through the decision fatigue of the 1,000+ project CNCF landscape. Inspired by the ThoughtWorks Tech Radar, the matrix categorizes technologies into watch, explore, learn, adopt, and advocate tiers. David's advocate picks include Flux CD, Linkerd, Cilium, Teleport, SpiceDB, Fluent Bit, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, CloudEvents, and WebAssembly/Spin. The conversation also covers the Flux vs. Argo CD debate, HashiCorp/IBM controversy and Terraform CDK deprecation, content creation challenges, and the value of foundational skills like PostgreSQL. The matrix is open source and David plans to expand it with community opinions.
