#116: Scalability Testing on Amazon EKS

Welcome back to your most-awaited DevOps roundup 👋🏻

As we kick things off this week, we find ourselves exploring strategies to optimize the performance of DynamoDB by leveraging SQS to throttle writes, offering you a comprehensive guide to ensure efficiency and cost-effectiveness in your operations. Terraform enthusiasts have a reason to celebrate as we explore the all-new Check Block feature and delving into the AWS SAM's official support for Terraform.

Dive deep into a fascinating case study where Vercel utilized Amazon EventBridge Scheduler to ship cron jobs in just two months. As we benchmark Bun & Node on AWS Lambda, learn the nitty-gritty to help you make informed decisions for your serverless applications.

Kubernetes aficionados, gear up as we share first-hand learnings from deploying a whopping 10K+ Argo CD apps across 97 different clusters. Get an inside scoop from a pioneer SRE hire recounting the ups and dows, and key takeaways from their journey.

Cloud cost management is becoming a pivotal concern at the board level. AWS remains a beast in the cloud space; we answer the all-important question - when to opt for AWS!

It's that time again - open-source projects of the week are here! From deploying web apps anywhere with zero downtime to introducing a copilot for your terminal, we have a lineup that promises to add value and versatility to your DevOps workflow.

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