Not only can you use Docker Compose to run multiple services, but you can also use it to build images and save time typing long build commands in the command line. @docker.com

This is how my website pradumnasaraf.dev looks now compared to back in 2021.

Got my first endorsement for Docker and Kubernetes Security! 🚀 Huge thanks to Docker Captain & open-source contributor Pradumna Saraf for the kind words. 🙏 @pradumnasaraf.dev 📘 Launching Oct 1st → DockerSecurity.io

When a developer copies example code from your docs, it should run without edits. Because every broken example breaks trust instantly.

In case you missed my recent blog, I show how we can now define LLM models alongside your Docker Compose stack. With a single command, you can spin up or tear down models and services on demand. dev.to/pradumnasara...

When you run docker compose up, we can decide whether to pull a fresh image or use the one already on your machine. That’s why we use pull_policy. Here’s what you can set: - always: Always pull from the registry, even if you already have it. @docker.com (1/3)

The Open Letter’s newsletter, Edition 4, is LIVE! open.substack.com/pub/pradumna...

Working on the 4th edition of The Open Letter. It’s been a while since I sent one out. There will be some exciting news. If you haven’t subscribed yet, now’s the time: newsletter.pradumnasaraf.dev

I’ve updated my Speaking repository with the video and slides from my WASM vs Docker talk at KubeCon India. Check it out here: github.com/Pradumnasara...

With Docker Compose, you can run AI models too. Just like defining services or volumes in compose.yml, you can define models. @docker.com auto-injects the model configs into our app, and with `docker compose up` or down, the model is created or removed on demand.

It’s mind-blowing that my DevOps repo has crossed 3000 stars. I’m super glad it’s helping folks in their DevOps journey! github.com/Pradumnasara...

Docker Compose has always been one of my favorite features, and now it has become even more powerful. Now in @docker.com Compose, you can define LLM models to run alongside your stack. With a single command, you can create or destroy models and services on demand. dev.to/pradumnasara...

Soon.

KubeCon India was amazing. As always, I love hitting the stage and speaking about the tools and tech I enjoy using and sharing. The most important thing for me was reconnecting with friends and having non-professional/no-fluff chats over food (especially dosa).

Good logs tell stories.

If you noticed or not, there is a taste and design change to my thumbnails. It was always used to be a dark background with lighter colored text, etc. A few months ago, I moved on with attachment to darker shades, especially black colour. And I love this transition.

With the PullPrompt v1.4.0 release, it now supports Gemini 2.5 Pro by default. github.com/Pradumnasara...

With GenCLI v1.10.0. It now supports Gemini 2.5 Pro by default. You can also easily choose Flash and Flash-Lite lighter variants of Gemini 2.0 and 2.5 using the `gencli model` command. Learn more: github.com/Pradumnasara...

Built an MCP server using Python to track real-time flight data like airline flights, airport schedules, future flights & aircraft types using the Aviationstack API. Published it as a package so folks can use UVX or run by cloning the repo. github.com/Pradumnasara...

In case you missed my recent blog on how @docker.com made it super easy to run the MCP server, and manage server config and secrets/tokens in one place. Check it out. Also, it’s at 29.5k views on @dev.to, just 500 short of 30k! dev.to/pradumnasara...

In case you missed it, @docker.com, at the WeAreDevelopers conference announced an amazing new offering called Docker Offload! 🐳 We can run heavy dev tasks in the cloud without changing a thing locally, for fast and convenient development.

It’s been over a year since I became a Docker Captain. I’ve learned a lot by being surrounded by some of the coolest and most brilliant folks in the space. Also, it always feels nice to see your name on @docker.com official website.

A broken demo hurts more than no demo.

KubeCon China was an incredible experience! I loved speaking about development and the developer experience with Docker and WASM. It was also fascinating to explore and learn about China's tech scene, with its ecosystem of vendors and companies beyond the Western landscape.

The clearer your docs, the less support you need.

Over 13K views in 48 hours and trending No.1 on @dev.to under the @docker.com tag. Check it out if you haven't.

Learn how @docker.com makes it easy and quick to run MCP servers through the Docker MCP Catalog and MCP Toolkit. You don’t need to manage 10 or 100 MCP servers manually; with a single Docker MCP config, you can manage everything right from Docker Desktop. dev.to/pradumnasara...

Before travelling to Hong Kong, I was thinking about what I should get (not souvenirs), something that could be memorable and that I could attach to my backpack. I think someone was listening. Thank you, team KubeCon China, for these, especially that custom-moulded keychain. @linuxfoundation.org

Happy to share that my Docker Captain title has been renewed for another year! It was one of the best things that happened to me last year. I’ve learned a lot, surrounded by some of the best people in the industry. @docker.com

I am here at KubeCon China (Hong Kong). If you're around, let's chat! I'll also be giving a talk later. I'll be in Hong Kong for a week, so feel free to reach out if you'd like to meet up. I'm more than happy to connect! @cncf.io @linuxfoundation.org

Please don’t engage or schedule any meetings if you receive an email like this. Calendar Invite will have a link to join the meeting, which will prompt you to download the Brave browser. However, this is not the legitimate one; it is a malicious one and can take over your PC.

Naming a repository is always fun!

Soon™

Buckle up and keep an eye out; Docker (@docker.com) Compose is about to become even more powerful in the coming days, with features you wouldn’t have expected in a million years.

The best backend is invisible to the user.

A few weeks ago, I crossed 15151 followers on LinkedIn. Thank you for your support and for sticking by me. If you are not connected, feel free to send a connection request. I'm happy to accept and connect: www.linkedin.com/in/pradumnas...

It’s not every day that the official Open Source Initiative reaches out to you for an interview and invites you to share your open source journey. Thank you for the opportunity and for sharing my story, @opensource.org My story: opensource.org/maintainers/...

I recently wrote a blog on how to monitor a Golang app using Prometheus, Grafana, and Docker (@docker.com). If you haven’t checked it out yet, here’s the link: dev.to/pradumnasara... So far, so good—10K people have viewed it!

Google I/O was shockingly good. There were lots of announcements, and one great thing is that many of them can directly impact and improve day-to-day life. That’s one of the common themes I’ve noticed with Google events, that many announcements are very end-user oriented.

Just published GenCLI v1.9.1. Gemini 2.0 Flash is now the default model (all 1.5 versions are deprecated; migration), and support for the Gemini 2.5 Flash (preview) has been added. You can change the model using the model subcommand. github.com/Pradumnasara...

The best Pull Request is the one you didn’t have to explain.

I completely revamped my website and added new pages. It is now more minimal, simple, and snappy. pradumnasaraf.dev

I thought that we were now so accustomed to QR codes. If we take a moment to look back and reflect, it has completely changed how we handle mundane things, from payments to boarding passes. Salute to the unsung hero, Masahiro Hara, for creating it. Simply Indispensable.

Highly recommend everyone read about Survivorship Bias.

I recently wrote guides on the Official Docker (@docker.com) Docs on monitoring a Golang application with custom Prometheus metrics and Grafana. You can check it out here: docs.docker.com/guides/go-pr...
