    #043 - Gaming on K8s: Stateful Servers, Low Latency, and an Incredible Infra Journey with Siddharth Dhulipalla (Hathora.dev)

    In this episode, Sid, CEO of Hathora, discusses building game infrastructure, specifically for hosting dedicated servers. He shares how Hathora tackles the challenges of running stateful, low-latency, high-throughput workloads that reconcile player actions up to 60 times per second. Sid explains their approach using Kubernetes to manage compute across bare metal and cloud VMs, leveraging technologies like Talos and Civo's Omni. He also details the technical hurdles they face with Kubernetes networking (like hostport issues), achieving sub-3-second pod startup times, and optimizing container image pulls, offering insights into the unique demands of the gaming industry and Hathora's growth. Sid is the CEO and co-founder of Hathora, the premier tool for studios to globally scale dedicated servers for their multiplayer video games. Sid comes from a deeply technical background, having led infra teams responsible for $100m+ annual cloud budgets. His team at Hathora is working with some of the most anticipated games of '25 and beyond, including Frost Giant’s Stormgate, Omeda’s Predecessor, and 1047 Games’ Splitgate 2.

    #042 - Cloud-Native Evolution: Simplifying K8s for Developers with Maxime Veroone (Decathlon)

    Live from KubeCon London, this episode of Kubernetes for Humans features Maxime Veroone, Staff Engineer at Decathlon's e-commerce division, sharing the company’s cloud-native transformation story. From their early days running a container platform with Rancher 1 to their strategic move to Kubernetes, Decathlon has embraced modern infrastructure to enable scalability and resilience. But with over 5,000 digital team members, Kubernetes introduced a new challenge: developer experience. As engineers were increasingly expected to navigate complex YAML configurations and act as operators, the need for simplification became critical. Maxime discusses how his role focuses on bridging the gap between platform and application teams, working to abstract Kubernetes complexity without locking developers into rigid workflows. His approach is rooted in empathy, actively listening to developers and shaping solutions around their needs. The conversation also dives into Decathlon’s infrastructure practices using Terraform and CI/CD pipelines, and Maxim’s enthusiasm for tools like Flagger and Flux, which are helping ensure safe, progressive deployments in their high-stakes e-commerce environment.
