# **The Open Source Blueprint from Team Blueshoe**Our Blog: Code, Cloud & Culture
The Blueshoe Blog is a technical knowledge resource for developers, DevOps engineers, and digital innovators specializing in modern web development with a clear focus on Python, Django, and Kubernetes. The posts dive deep into the world of cloud-native architectures and offer practical insights, tutorials, and best practices on topics such as containerization with Docker, orchestration, CI/CD, and the operation of scalable web applications.
## Our latest blog post
[Field Report: Kubernetes Networking Without Overengineering
Cilium: Time to say goodbye – Why we removed eBPF from our Kubernetes cluster
Cilium is widely considered a modern, high-performance solution for Kubernetes networking—and rightfully so. But not every cluster benefits from the additional complexity of eBPF, Hubble, and deep kernel interventions. In this field report, we share our real-world learnings with Cilium in a production AWS EKS cluster, why we eventually pulled the plug, and why "boring" network setups are often the more economical and resilient choice for many teams.

## Technologies
## Topics
## Python & Django
Python and Django enable the efficient and rapid development of clean, secure, and scalable web applications, thanks to Python's simple syntax, Django's comprehensive libraries, and a large, supportive community.
[Background Tasks in Django 6.0
Django 6.0 Task Framework: Do We Still Need Celery?
You want to send an email after registration. A fairly straightforward requirement, really. A little later, Redis, an additional worker, and a `celery.py` appear in your project. Add to that the question of who notices when the worker eventually gives up. Welcome to background tasks. Jonathan Kölbl 2026-09-28](https://www.blueshoe.io/blog/django-6-tasks-celery/)
[Open Source, OAuth 2.0 and Microsoft 365
django-o365: A Modern Mail Backend for Django and Exchange Online
[*django-o365*](https://github.com/Blueshoe/django-o365) is an open-source mail backend for Django that enables sending emails via Exchange Online using OAuth 2.0. Born from real-world project requirements, this package is aimed at teams using Microsoft 365 who want to implement their email dispatch securely, maintainably, and without workarounds. This article provides an overview of the motivation, features, and usage. Robert Gutschale 2026-02-04](https://www.blueshoe.io/blog/django-o365-a-modern-mail-backend-for-django-and-exchange-online/)
[Boost Your Django App’s Performance with Caching Techniques
Mastering Django Caching: The Ultimate Guide from Cachalot to the Low-Level API
Is your Django application slower than it should be? Long loading times not only frustrate your users but are also penalized by search engines. The solution often lies in a smart caching strategy. But where do you start? Jonathan Kölbl 2026-01-14](https://www.blueshoe.io/blog/django-caching-cachalot-performance-guide/)
[Django Tasks on Kubernetes: Lean and Scalable
Alternatives to Celery for Django on Kubernetes
Are you planning background jobs in your cluster and wondering if there are lighter options than Celery? Jonathan Kölbl 2025-09-10](https://www.blueshoe.io/blog/alternatives-to-django-celery-in-kubernetes/)

## Nuxt & Vue
Vue.js and Nuxt offer a developer-friendly experience for rapidly building high-performance, search-engine-friendly web applications by combining Vue's intuitive API with Nuxt's powerful server-side rendering and static site generation capabilities.
[Performance Optimization for Nuxt
Nuxt Performance Guide: Optimizing Core Web Vitals and Lighthouse
Performance is now a real ranking factor—not just a "nice to have" anymore. Nuxt (3 and 4) comes with a solid foundation, but getting a perfect Lighthouse score of 100/100 takes more than the default configuration. In this article, you'll learn strategies that actually work and how to optimize any Nuxt app. Lukas Rüsche 2026-09-28](https://www.blueshoe.io/blog/nuxt-lighthouse-performance/)
[User Authentication for Nuxt Applications with Keycloak
Nuxt & Keycloak: A Simple Guide to SSR Integration
Integrating Keycloak into a Nuxt application for robust authentication can be a challenge, especially with regard to Server-Side Rendering (SSR). In this article, we compare two leading modules, nuxt-auth-utils and @sidebase/nuxt-auth, and provide a step-by-step guide to help you choose the right solution. Robert Stein 2025-10-10](https://www.blueshoe.io/blog/nuxt-keycloak-integration/)
[The next evolution of Nuxt is here
Nuxt 4 is here: A Deep Dive into the New Features and What They Mean for Developers
After months of speculation and intensive beta testing, the Nuxt team has officially released Nuxt 4. Lukas Rüsche 2025-09-22](https://www.blueshoe.io/blog/nuxt4-new-features/)
[Top Carousel Performance with Nuxt
The Solution for SSR Sliders with Nuxt
We spent a long time searching for a sensible solution for implementing sliders with Nuxt. Many developers struggle with performance issues, hydration mismatches, and poor SEO performance with conventional slider libraries. In this comprehensive guide, we show you how we use Embla Carousel in Nuxt to achieve top SSR performance. Lukas Rüsche 2025-08-19](https://www.blueshoe.io/blog/nuxt-ssr-slider-top-performance/)
