Alex Rivera
Staff Engineer & Editor at Prodogon
Alex Rivera is the Staff Engineer & Editor at Prodogon. Alex writes and edits the DevOps, information security, and software engineering guides, with a focus on the gaps that trip up people who build software by prompting AI coding assistants.
What these guides cover
- DevOps — CI/CD, GitOps, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, observability, and running software reliably in production.
- Information security — prompt injection, non-human identities, secrets management, supply-chain security, and the vulnerabilities AI-generated code ships by default.
- Software engineering — vibe coding, spec-driven development, testing, databases, and Git.
Editorial standards
Every guide follows the same rules: answer-first sections that stand alone, code that is complete and runnable, real sources and verifiable statistics — and no invented numbers. The full rules are documented on the About page.
