The Go 1.25 change I am most excited about is the new synctest package.

How I think about it is as a way to deflake tests by simulating an infinitely fast processor (because time doesn’t move until all work is done), and then shorten them by compressing time (because time jumps once it moves).

API design for CRDs, lessons shared from cluster api evolution.

Takeaways.
- external types could be copied and then evolved, since external type when evolved also could introduce an unwanted release for your API.
- nested types in spec, instead of one big attribute.

New article on my blog that explains all the various ways Kubernetes can evict your workloads. This wasn't all documented in one place so I'm hoping this helps the teams operating with Kubernetes in production. You'll also find a cheatsheet in the article. ahmet.im/blog/kuberne...
