+# My internship at Red Hat
+
+I have been contributing to open source for the last 3 years and Red Hat
+was one of the companies that I was very fond of. I must say all my
+contributions and consistency paid off, and I made it to the Red Hat as
+a DevTools intern. This post is about onboarding and how I prepared
+myself for working on the actual project.
+
+On the first day of my internship, I met two amazing teammates
+[Saytam](https://github.com/) and [Utkarsh](https://github.com/). We
+were also introduced to a Senior Software Engineer [Piyush
+Garg](https://github.com) who later mentored us. The initial few
+meetings were more on the introduction and what to learn topics. Before
+I jump into more details let me explain first what does a **DevTools
+Developer/Engineer** do?
+
+## What does a DevTools Developer/Engineer do?
+
+From [MDN Web
+Docs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Developer_Tools)
+**Developer tools (or "development tools" or short "DevTools") are
+programs that allow a developer to create, test, and debug software.**
+At RedHat, a lot of open source developer tools of industry standards
+are developed. There are many, OpenShift, Tekton, CodeReady containers,
+and many more.
+
+## Learning on the Go
+
+There was a lot of learning and still a lot to learn. In a meeting with
+my manager Pradeepto Bhattacharya, I was told that I will be working on
+TektonCD or OpenShift Pipelines, and both of them require a sound
+knowledge of Golang, CI/CD, Containers, Docker, and Kubernetes. I was
+familiar with CI/CD, containers, and Docker but never used Golang and
+Kubernetes. We were provided plenty of good resources and my teammates
+also helped with many awesome resources. I am listing all the resources
+with their category.
+
+### Go Programming Language
+
+One of Golang's biggest advantages is that it offers the clarity and
+ease of use that other languages lack. Golang's advantages make it easy
+for new programmers to quickly understand the language and for seasoned
+veterans to easily read each other's code.

+
+### Docker
+
+Docker takes away repetitive, mundane configuration tasks and is used
+throughout the development lifecycle for fast, easy, and portable
+application development - desktop and cloud. Docker's comprehensive
+end-to-end platform includes UIs, CLIs, APIs, and security that are
+engineered to work together across the entire application delivery
+lifecycle.

+
+**Kubernetes** is the Greek word for a ship's captain. We get the words
+Cybernetic and Gubernatorial from it. The Kubernetes project focuses on
+building a robust platform for running thousands of containers in
+production.

+## *Not so Minimal* Tekton Server
+
+In late January, we were asked to implement our learnings and deep dive
+into Kubernetes and TektonCD through an assignment project. Soon we
+realized that whatever we were learning so far was not even close to
+what we were going to implement. We were given a document containing the
+requirements of the applications we were supposed to create along with
+all the documentation and architectural diagrams.
+
+The application was called **Minimal Tekton Server**. It is a set of
+three different applications, i.e a server, a CLI, and a dashboard. In
+short, this application is supposed to *listen to custom resources being
+created and then transfer the request to Tekton API to create the
+corresponding resource on the OpenShift/Kubernetes cluster.*
+
