November/December was a busy time at Runway — mostly for cleanups and also some well-earned (personal!) downtime after another turbulent 2020 2024. As a result, this update is a bit light on user-facing features. However, we made significant progress behind the scenes by improving our internal dashboards, refining our monitoring and alerting systems, and test-driving new infrastructure features from Kubernetes v1.31.x and beyond.

As a result, we standardized the CNI across all clusters and believe we pinpointed the issue: an incompatibility between kube-proxy and iptables (or rather, nftables). While it’s reassuring to understand a problem, it doesn’t quite make up for the time and stress spent resolving it.
