#119: SRE Interview Prep Plan

Welcome back to your favorite weekly rendezvous—the DevOps Bulletin!

Have you ever been baffled by the mysterious .git directory? Or been curious about extracting personal info from a driver's license efficiently? We're unmasking these secrets this week. Dive into a thrilling narrative of parsing a whopping 25TB using AWK and R and discover how it was achieved with unbelievable efficiency—both in terms of time and cost.

Lambda enthusiasts, brace yourselves! We're dissecting how to optimize those cold starts and sharing a riveting tutorial on building a serverless document chat leveraging AWS Lambda and Amazon Bedrock. Think of it as having a real-time conversation with any PDF you upload!

SRE job hunters, we've got your back with a prep plan tailored just for you. And if Serverless apps intrigue you, we’re shedding light on the art of internationalizing them seamlessly across locales.
On the open-source front: a Python library inspired by kubectl awaits you, promising to smooth out your developer journey. Unveil dockerized solutions for PostgresQL and an open-source gem for API key management.

And for the news junkies: Have you ever been struck by a jaw-dropping Kubernetes bill? Or wondered if splurging on Splunk is truly worth it? Dive into these stories and more to stay updated.
