DevOps Bulletin - Digest #100: SQL Learning Game 🎮

#100: SQL Learning Game
In this edition, you'll learn how Kubernetes and Kafka can get you fired, and discover tips and tricks for improving your monitoring stack with Prometheus operators. I've also shared some lessons learned from making a SaaS completely serverless, and how AWS CodeWhispere can help you identify potential security risks in your AWS infrastructure code before deployment.

If you're building serverless applications, I've got you covered with a collection of essential tools to help you along the way. And if you're looking to build a Jenkins cluster on AWS with Terraform, I'm sharing a tutorial that will guide you through the process.

For those looking for a challenge, I have got a book on how to build your own database from scratch. And as always, I've some amazing open-source projects for you to explore, including an SQL learning game to help you pick up basic SQL skills, a modern and lightweight Kubernetes desktop client called Aptakube, and an all-in-one Terraform management tool called Hatchet. 

So, hold on to your keyboards, and let's dive into this week's DevOps digest!
