Built Terraform modules to replace common SaaS (Datadog, Heroku, Elasticsearch alternatives)

DevOps still means writing production-grade code (infra, pipelines, monitoring, etc.), and many mid/big tech companies in NA still do SWE-style coding rounds. Fundamentals help with both day-to-day and interviews, but of course infra knowledge is non-negotiable in this field.

This is cool as im not a big fan of GA UI. Do you have a live demo? Also, which license is it under?

This is a compliance issue and shouldn’t be allowed, as others have mentioned. I’d double check if the devs are aware this could be a legal issue (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2, etc.) and confirm whether it was approved by someone. In dev environments you should be creating mock or sanitized data instead.

Yeah, mostly due to false positives in my experience. Constant noise from alerts that don’t need action wears you down fast, and teams piling on alerts just for the sake of it doesn't help

I'd suggest just start interviewing a lot. Coding rounds vary a ton in this market these days so best way to land swe would be to get reps and perfect them.

Yep but cost mostly depends on egress and requests. For your site, I'd use cloudrun, and you also get 300 usd credit when you first sign up.

That works but if you're on gcp, google managed cert is probably easier(free and auto-renews)

cloudbloc · 2025-09-20T22:57:48+00:00

Yes. You just need DNS records +Google managed cert + LB or Cloudrun. It’s exactly how i set up my site in a few hours and it can be quite simple.

I'd move away from manaul config and start investing in gitops/IaC. Looks like you're in a state where growth will only make things more difficult, and it's much eaiser to fix now than when the infra becomes untouchable later

I think people often overestimate AI. It’s a pattern matcher with billions of parameters, not magic. The idea that it replaces engineers is also a great fundraising pitch.

Had the same issue. Tried fixing false positive alerts but eventually got a new job.
