In modern Kubernetes environments, even small misconfigurations in your CI/CD pipeline can lead to failed or flaky deployments. Jenkins pipelines that build, test and deploy containers to Kubernetes clusters are powerful but complex. When manifests or pipeline settings are wrong, the cluster’s desired state never matches reality, and workloads may crash or never start. Advanced teams know that pipeline errors often hide behind cryptic logs. In this article, we explore common real-world pipeline pitfalls, incorrect manifests, mismatched variables, versioning blunders, rollout mistakes and more and show how to fix them with solid best practices. Invalid Kubernetes Manifests and YAML Errors One of…

Since releasing the Docker MCP Toolkit, we’ve seen strong community adoption, including steady growth in MCP server usage and over 1 million pulls from the Docker MCP Catalog. With the community, we’re laying the groundwork by standardizing how developers define, run, and share agent-based workloads with Docker Compose. Now, we’re expanding on that foundation with the MCP Gateway, a new open-source project designed to help you move beyond local development and into production environments. The MCP Gateway acts as a secure enforcement point between agents and external tools. It integrates seamlessly with Docker Compose while enhancing the security posture of…

IDN EncodeConvert international domain names to Punycode format Domain Input Encoded Output Encode IDN Clear All What is an IDN Encode Tool or Punycode Converter?I love domain names and the way they connect people to content around the world. Many domains include characters outside the basic English alphabet. Web infrastructure relies on ASCII letters in DNS records. The Internationalized Domain Name standard uses a system called Punycode to map Unicode characters into ASCII.An IDN encode tool transforms any Unicode domain into its Punycode form. This ensures that browsers and servers can resolve the domain without error. Examples include accent marks…
XML to JSON ConverterConvert structured XML into clean, readable JSON instantly Convert XML Clear All What is an XML to JSON Converter?I have wrestled with XML more times than I care to count. It is powerful, sure, but not exactly friendly when you are writing JavaScript or building APIs. That is where JSON shines—simple, lightweight, and made for modern developers. But what do you do when you are handed a legacy XML file and need to get it working in your app right now?That is where this tool comes in. An XML to JSON converter lets you paste structured XML…
Agents are the future, and if you haven’t already started building agents, you probably will soon. Across industries and use cases, agents can act on our behalf, and offload repetitive work, because they can act on our behalf with judgment and context. But while agentic development is moving fast, today it’s tedious, hard, and not fun: you need to quickly iterate with different prompts and models (both frontier models and local/open models), you need to find and connect MCP tools to internal data securely, and you need to declaratively package everything so that others can run your agent. And you…

In DevOps workflows, infrastructure as code has become a very important approach to managing and automating any infrastructure. Ansible, a powerful infrastructure as code tool, simplifies configuration management, build deployments and environment setup across multiple systems. One common challenge in the DevOps world is ensuring that build environments are set up consistently across different machines to make sure they behave the same way. In this post, I will demonstrate how Ansible can automate the setup of a build environment for any type of build. I will include Windows as well as the Linux environment setup. Windows-based .NET builds Needs Visual Studio Build Tools, .NET…
JSON to YAML ConverterTurn compact JSON into readable, indentation-based YAML instantly Convert JSON Clear All What is a JSON to YAML Converter?I love JSON for its strict structure, but sometimes I want the elegance of YAML. YAML is indentation based, comment friendly, and easy on the eyes, which makes configuration files feel less cluttered. A JSON to YAML converter takes any valid JSON object or array and translates it into properly indented YAML so teams that prefer YAML can work with data that originally came from JavaScript or any REST response.What Does Our JSON to YAML Converter Do?This tool lives…
