Digest #134: TDD with Serverless, Terraform AI Conversions, K8s Cost Metrics & OpenTofu Response
Learn to convert Terraform templates, deploy SSR on AWS Amplify, and apply TDD to Serverless. Gain insights on PostgreSQL, microfrontends, and secure APIs.
Welcome to this week’s edition of the DevOps Bulletin!
Discover how to change Azure Terraform templates for use with AWS through Amazon Bedrock, and learn about deploying applications with SSR on AWS Amplify. We'll also explore how to use Test-Driven Development (TDD) to make your serverless projects stronger and more reliable.
Wondering how to manage integration tests with PostgreSQL? We've got useful tips and common errors to watch out for. Plus, learn how to split up your front end into several independent parts.
This week's featured projects include Chalk, a tool that follows your code from development to production, and Inkdrop, a CLI tool that lets you create interactive diagrams to visualize your Terraform setups.
In the news section, catch up on Figma's journey in scaling their databases, the OpenTofu project's response to accusations of code theft, and the support of Kubernetes cost insights on AWS CUR reports. We'll also look at why staging environments are essential and the latest uses of AI to boost engineering productivity.
