DevOps Bulletin - Digest #114: Postgres Meme 😃

#114: Postgres Meme

Welcome back to another edition of the DevOps Bulletin! This digest is jam-packed with insights that will not only kickstart your next week but also elevate your DevOps journey.

Diving right in, have you stumbled upon the legendary SQL iceberg meme and scratched your head? A blog post I've included this week demystifies it all! On the multi-cloud front, learn how to set up end-to-end service communication on multi-cloud Kubernetes clusters on AWS and Azure.

Are you familiar with the concept of feature flags but unsure how to use them in production? A hands-on video in this week's digest will guide you through the process. Also, understand the top ten risks around the Kubernetes ecosystem and how to add notifications and manual approval to an AWS CDK Pipeline.

For my Kubernetes engineers, I've curated a list of the top ten indispensable tools that will streamline the way you work. Also, explore how to set up AWS Budget notifications with AWS Chatbot, Slack, and Terraform, and discover strategies for testing in production.

Incidents are inevitable, but how we learn from them can propel our engineering careers. This week, I delve into how to learn from incidents and use them as stepping stones in your career.

As always, I'm excited to present some open-source projects of the week:

  • A modern tool for managing database schemas.
  • Instantly generate production-ready Node.js backend apps.
  • Create reusable environment stacks using plain .tf files.

And that's just the beginning. There's a lot more to uncover in this week's digest. Enjoy the read!
