Hi, I'm Sebastian.
For over 20 years I've been building, planning, and operating IT infrastructure. The reality of IT doesn't happen in glossy presentations or buzzword bingo meetings, but in complex configs, load balancers, and kernel logs that tell you the unvarnished truth.
Sebastian Palencsár Sebastian Palencsár is my personal blog. I write about technology that interests me, things I build, and experiences from real-world operations.
It's about Infrastructure & Architecture, Linux & Systems, Engineering & Code, and DevOps & Automation — direct, pragmatic, and without unnecessary sugarcoating.
What this is about?
Conviction, if you want to call it that. Pragmatism, if you're being honest. Technology is a tool for me, not an end in itself. Every new software layer, every cloud abstraction, and every SaaS tool may solve one problem, but it guarantees two new ones.
That's why there's no sugarcoating of gadgets or frameworks here. No "game-changer", no "revolution!". I look where it really hurts: Why do migrations fail? What does Infrastructure as Code mean in practice? And why does everyone talk about hype while the underlying network infrastructure often stands on shaky ground?
This is where you'll find error analyses, architecture notes, personal projects, and thoughts longer than a quick social media post. Written from the perspective of an engineer who prefers achieving stability through less complexity rather than the next platform layer.
Stay stable.
