#102: Are Terraform’s days numbered?

In this edition, we're diving into the story of Prime Video's transition from microservices to monolith. I'll also guide you through building a CI/CD pipeline for large codebases with Dagger, and offer insights into developing a full data pipeline from scratch using AWS toolset components.

Are Terraform's days numbered? We discuss the future of this popular IaC tool. I'm also bringing you the key highlights from KubeCon Amsterdam, and showing you why and how to use containerd from the command line.

This week's exciting open-source projects include Atuin, which replaces your existing shell history with an SQLite database and records additional context for your commands; a powerful CLI to recursively test a directory tree for Terraform diffs and coverage; and a CLI to validate AWS CloudFormation templates against AWS Well-Architected Sustainability Pillar best practices.

So get ready to immerse yourself in this week's wealth of DevOps knowledge!
