# Mikael Robert
Scales infrastructure for 80M users with a lean team at Yubo.

## About

Mikael Robert runs infrastructure for Yubo, supporting a social platform with over 80 million users. Working alongside a tight five-person team, he focuses on keeping operations radically lean through automation, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure-as-Code.

His approach to DevOps favors pragmatism over complexity. He frequently covers how to use GitOps tools like ArgoCD to streamline deployments, and why database self-service unlocks engineering speed without giving up control.
