When asked about his research process, Anthony Bourdain would describe how he’d blend his formal culinary training with deep dives into local food culture - from market stalls to family recipes. Modern AI code generation follows a similar path: it can’t just rely on what it knows - it must tap into continuously evolving, domain-specific knowledge bases. Just as Bourdain would combine his classical French training with techniques learned from local kitchens, AI code generators blend their built-in knowledge with retrieved code snippets and type definitions to generate code that accurately represents the user’s intent.

Have you ever had one of those moments: Elasticsearch is crashing, logs are filling up too fast, or a deployment needs data from three different APIs. The big enterprise solutions aren’t quite right, and your team estimates six months to build something proper. But you know that with Python and a few choice libraries, you could hack something together by tomorrow.

Welcome to the second blog post of the Pulumi ESC and Kubernetes secrets series. If you haven’t had the chance to read the first blog post, go ahead and read it here.

In the previous blog post, we have learned how to manage secrets with Pulumi ESC and the External Secrets Operator. While the External Secrets Operator is a great tool to manage secrets in a cloud-native way, it still creates Kubernetes secrets in the cluster. Depending on your security requirements, you might want to avoid the use of Kubernetes secrets in your cluster at all. This is the point where you hit the limits of the External Secrets Operator.

Guest Article: Simen A. W. Olsen from Bjerk, is here to share his lessons learned on why designing the perfect architecture for your future needs might be a mistake

I remember standing in front of our engineering team in 2018, proudly presenting what I believed was the future-proof architectural design for our new distributed system. The diagrams were immaculate, the technology choices were cutting-edge, and the scalability patterns were ready for any possible future scenario.

I was basically the Leonardo da Vinci of system design… if Leonardo had been really into Kubernetes and had a concerning addiction to coffee. But six months later, that “future-proof” architecture had become a constraint rather than an enabler, and my masterpiece was looking more like a finger painting done by a caffeinated raccoon.

Now, with the new capabilities to discover environment imports, you gain unprecedented visibility and control, simplifying the management of even the most complex infrastructure and applications.
