Digest #112: Postgres as a Graph Database 📈

#112: Postgres as a Graph Database

Welcome back to another edition of DevOps Bulletin! First and foremost, my apologies for the brief hiatus, and I truly appreciate your patience. After being away for 3 weeks, I'm back with a lot of DevOps insights.

Kicking things off, I dive deep into managing Terraform modules within a Monorepo. Also, if you've ever wrestled with Amazon SQS batch processing failures, you'll find a useful piece on using AWS Lambda Powertools to streamline the process.

I'm also excited to introduce AWS's new official guide, packed with design patterns ideal for building apps on the cloud. As we tread the AWS path, another crucial article I've handpicked breaks down how to leverage AWS cost allocation tags. Additionally, for those keen on cloud expenses, there's a thorough guide on how to effectively save money while working with Serverless.

Databases remain the backbone of many applications, and if you were thinking of using Postgres as a graph database, you're in for a treat. Additionally, I'm sharing how to use the latest CloudFormation looping function to improve your IaC templates.

For those managing large infrastructures, learn how to combine the power of Terragrunt and GitHub Action to manage them seamlessly at scale. In the realm of learning, there's an insightful guide to getting started with OpenTelemetry and another fascinating piece that delves into how to build a successful SRE team. On a lighter note, I've also covered an intriguing perspective on why DNS continues to baffle many, even today.

Staying true to my tradition, this week's highlighted open-source projects are bound to pique your interest:

  • Navigate within monorepos effortlessly.
  • A must-have tool that scans for misconfigured S3 buckets.
  • Introduce faults into your Lambda functions without tweaking the actual function code.
  • And several more which I believe will be indispensable tools in your DevOps journey.

So, buckle up, dive in, and enjoy this week's enriched DevOps digest!
