With more developers working remotely, traditional code reviews have begun to shift. Classic water cooler conversations have turned into pings on Slack, and collaborative office spaces have transformed into stand-alone home setups. Remote work clearly has many advantages, but it can also leave developers feeling isolated. Asynchronous communication introduces massive bottlenecks for efficient feedback and creative brainstorming, particularly during code reviews.

While many of us have already heard of Kubernetes, or may even be leveraging it within our technology stacks, it’s still important to remember that the platform is undergoing massive adoption and evolvement. Due to its relative infancy, Kubernetes is ripe to allow for integrating new technologies, like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). As an open-source platform, Kubernetes orchestrates containerized applications, ensuring they run efficiently and resiliently.
