DevOps Bulletin - Digest #93: Why Use Message Brokers 👀

#93: Why Use Message Brokers
Get ready for another jam-packed edition of our weekly DevOps newsletter! This week, I'm covering everything from monitoring production systems and using message brokers to explaining CDN in simple words and testing AWS Serverless & Lambda. Plus, I'll be sharing tips for writing Terraform for unsupported resources, discussing AI-generated infrastructure-as-code, and highlighting the best book for hiring talented tech engineers.

Don't forget to check out a podcast featuring IAM best practices, and our open-source projects of the week, including a web-based database interface, a tool for deploying apps with zero downtime, and an AWS Spot instances estimator. And that's just the start - there's plenty more to explore. So buckle up and let's dive in!
