In this episode of Tech Radar Voice, Haggai Philip Zagury, DevOps Architect & Tech Lead at Tikal, is joined by Itai Or, DevOps Tech Lead & Group Lead at Tikal, and Tal Kimhi, Co-founder & CEO at Draftt, to dive into the world of Cloud Native Environments (CNE).
They explore the challenges of managing modern cloud-native environments, the shift from single environments to multi-cloud orchestration, and the tools and architectures that make it possible—covering everything from Kubernetes control loops and GitOps to the role of platform engineering.
Expect insights on how developers and operations teams navigate this complexity, why configuration management is still a challenge, and whether cloud-native is just the new version of the state machine. If you're dealing with scalability, automation, and cloud infra, this one's for you!

Managing Cloud Native Environments

Configuration might not be the flashiest topic in DevOps, but it’s the backbone of every stable system—and when it fails, everything breaks fast.
In this episode of Tech Radar Voice, Haggai Philip Zagury, DevOps Architect & Tech Lead at Tikal sits down with Peleg Porat, Co-founder & CEO of Configu, to explore how cloud-native teams are tackling configuration complexity in 2025.
From the evolution of infrastructure as code to the rise of self-service configuration management, they discuss how organizations can reduce misconfigurations, scale effortlessly, and improve security and compliance. Whether you’re a developer struggling with environment inconsistencies or a DevOps engineer tired of firefighting production issues, this episode is full of practical insights you can apply today.

Configuration Management in Cloud Native Environments

Managing microservices at scale isn’t just about deploying more services—it’s about making them communicate securely, efficiently, and reliably. That’s where Service Mesh comes in.
In this episode of Tech Radar Voice, Haggai Philip Zagury, DevOps Architect & Tech Lead at Tikal, sits down with Uri Brodsky, Senior Engineering Manager & Head of Backend Guild at Riskified, to break down how Istio and Envoy help teams manage traffic, security, observability, and scaling across multi-cloud environments.
They discuss Riskified’s journey to Service Mesh, the challenges of securing thousands of microservices, and how Istio enables mTLS, progressive deployments, and improved developer experience without requiring changes at the application level. From streamlining service-to-service communication to supporting dynamic environments and canary releases, this episode offers hands-on insights for teams navigating cloud-native architectures.

מה קורה באמת עם Observability בסביבות Cloud-Native?
זה כבר מזמן לא רק לאסוף לוגים, אלא לדעת מה קורה עכשיו במערכת, לזהות תקלות לפני שהן פוגעות במשתמשים, ולתת למפתחים כלים אמיתיים להתמודד עם זה.
בפרק הזה של Tech Radar Voice, חגי פיליפ זגורי, DevOps Architect ו-Tech Lead בטיקל, מארח את אביבה פסח, Head of Backend Engineering ב-Wix, ואת סמיון טפליצקי, Platform Team Lead ב-Via.
ביחד הם מדברים על איך עושים Observability כמו שצריך: מהגישה של Wix שמקדמת אחריות של מפתחים על הפרודקשן, דרך self-service observability platform ש-Via בנו, ועד כלים כמו OpenTelemetry, התראות אוטומטיות ו-synthetic monitoring שעוזרים להקדים תרופה לתקלה.
דיברנו גם על איך מקצרים MTTR ו-MTTA, איך מפתחים לוקחים שליטה על המוניטורינג, ולמה זה קריטי כשמפעילים מערכות Cloud-Native בסקייל.

Here's my Bass rework of Pink Floyd's – The Great Gig in the Sky 
I've been dropping it live for a while now, and the energy and crowd reaction have always been a focal point of my sets ❤️

This flip honors the timeless vocal and reimagines it through a future-rave lens — with cinematic tension, immersive sound design, and emotional sub pressure.

Respect to the original. This is a tribute, not a replacement :)

The Great Bass In The Sky


ML Engineering: מהמחקר למציאות
Machine Learning זה לא רק לבנות מודלים – זה לדעת איך להפוך אותם לחלק ממערכת שעובדת באמת, בסקייל, בפרודקשן, ובעיקר – מביאה תוצאות.
בפרק הזה של Tech Radar Voice, שני כהן, Senior ML Engineer ב- Tikal, מארחת את קוסטה קלינובסקי, MLOps Engineer ב-Imperva, לשיחה על איך לוקחים רעיון מחקרי והופכים אותו למערכת אמינה שרצה אצל יוזרים אמיתיים.
הם עוברים יחד על כל ה-ML lifecycle – מהאיסוף של הדאטה, דרך תכנון הפיצ'רים וניהול האקספרימנטים, ועד לאימון, deployment וניטור בפרודקשיין.
 דרך use case של זיהוי הונאות בפלטפורמת e-commerce, הם מדברים על אתגרים יומיומיים – כמו למשל איך שומרים על מודל עדכני, איך מטפלים ב data drift, ואיך בונים תהליך שאפשר לסמוך עליו לאורך זמן.
בזכות כלים כמו feature stores, model registries ו-LLMs, הפער בין מחקר ל engineering הולך ומצטמצם – והפרק הזה הוא בדיוק המקום להתחיל בו את המסע לעולמות של MLOps מודרני.

ML Engineering: From Research to Reality

איך באמת נראה פיתוח של מערכת משין לרנינג בפרודקשן – בלי הפילטרים?
שני כהן (Senior ML Engineer, Tikal) מארחת את ברק עמר (Principal Engineer, Treeverse) לשיחה על הפער בין הדיאגרמות היפות למציאות היומיומית: חיכוכים בין צוותים, גבולות אחריות לא ברורים, ואתגרים כמו Data Versioning ו-Observability – וגם כלים שיכולים לעזור בדרך.
