Working approach

Engineering principles

Automate repeatable work

I automate recurring work when the workflow is easier to maintain than the manual process.

Prefer declarative systems

I keep my homelab configuration in Git so changes are reviewable and Argo CD can reconcile the cluster from a known desired state.

Design for operability

I use Prometheus and Grafana in the homelab to distinguish application problems from resource pressure and networking failures.

Match deployment to the application

At Suite Seven, smaller WordPress environments used a simpler approach when parallel environments were not justified.
