Weekly Tech Journal β€” [Week 31 of 2025] (July 28–August 03)

A personal recap of things I explored, learned, or questioned in tech this week.

πŸ”§ What I Worked On

  • Kicked off a new finance management app project
    • I decided to use Kubernetes for the development, staging, and “production” environments. I know it’s overkill for a project at this early stage, but my motivation is to improve my Kubernetes skills.
    • This project will probably be open source once it’s mature enough.

🌐 Homelab Updates

  • Installed Nexus
  • Updated Docmost to 0.22.0
  • Installed Harbor
    • I really liked Harbor.
    • it’ll be my official container registry

πŸ“š What I Learned

  • Simulating AWS Cloud Practioner exams
    • Learning more detail of many services of AWS

🧠 Things That Surprised Me

  • Nexus has 3 types of repo which make it powerful

πŸ“Ž Links or Resources I Found Useful

πŸ“Ή Youtube Videos I watched

πŸ’¬ Final Thoughts

  • I really glad that I have the combo: k8s, gitlab and docker registry (Harbor).
