How to stay updated in cloud native?
How to stay updated with so much information and innovation in the cloud native ecosystem.
Do read complete post to get the answer to above question. 👇
Let me begin with something I started a few years back call Hubstation. This was the first time when I wanted to create something for the community to provide the latest updates in cloud native, I along with a couple of more people tried it for 6–7 months in 2020 and the content we posted was dope but due to other commitments and priorities we could not continue.
I still had wanted to create something for the people where I can share a few things
- A story
- My one to one type of conversation coming out when you read it
- Videos that I have been watching
- Articles I have been reading
- Good resources for learning and repo’s that are cool IMO
- Ending with Twitter posts that will make you learn.
In in 2021 I started my newsletter on Revue, It was great to have direct linking with this platform and also it was a neat way to share.
I got a good traction over there and people started subscribing to the newsletter. Yes it was free and I did put in efforts in writing that.
So I started the Biweekly newsletter, newsletter have a less life as these are something you wont look back often but my newsletter comes with a story so if you are interested in what I am upto, you will find everything in the newsletter.
By less life I mean 1 newsletter will be active and read for 15 days and after that there will be a new one to read. So max reads are there for 15 days for each newsletter as these are not the blogs which people keep reading time and again even after years.
Fast forward to 2023, I have published many newsletter editions, I have got really amazing feedback as my newsletter is raw and it only speaks about the stuff which I want to be there and I am reading and I find interesting.
I also started a org membership plan where organizations can support my work and in turn one of the benefits they get is a newsletter mention but my newsletter is not like I will only put sponsored content, my sponsor section is actually explicitly mentioned and even the content that I publish form them is latest form past 15 days and helps wider audience in general.
So I thank all the members who have supported my work.
After Revue was shut down, I moved over my newsletter and started to publish on Substack — again for free. So all the information that you are getting , may newsletter publications they gate it with money, I have the newsletter pretty open but I have kept an option where if you want you can be a paid member(This was when a few people wanted to support my work and time).
Till date since beginning I have published around 50 newsletter editions and I also started to repurpose my content in the form of LinkedIn newsletter-> “Saiyam’s Cloud Native Corner”
The overall subscribers to newsletter is ~10k+ and there have been several supports in the past and currently as well.
So coming to the answer, if you want to stay uptodate in cloud native, with a raw version of me talking to you via my story in the newsletter then this one is for you, I carefully curate the content only within that 15 days of timespan so that it can gives you LATEST updates from cloud native, Kubernetes and WebAssembly world and you can always live on the edge.
So feel free to subscribe to my newsletter, I will put the link in the next post.
If you have read till here then do share this newsletter in your network and subscribe to my newsletter.
