What certs/qualifications can I get as a Backend/DevOps to be more qualified and hirable?

hey, 23 year old male with a degree in CS I have a lot of experience that puts me in a really good place where I live I make 10 times more than what juniors make and I make 6-7 times what seniors make but I'm not good enough to get a sponsorship and go to a country that gives me decent livable money while I get more experiences so I can actually be something eventually

so the goal now is to get a job in North American, Australia, EU whatever just whatever country, I know if I go to the EU I will be making a lot less money that what I'm making now but it will be more than full time companies salary here and I will be finally able to advance my career and skills in an office job more than contracting

so what I need now it some advice, should I go into DevOps or focus on being a Backend dev? what certs or what should I do to make myself hirable? I need to leave here asap because its either slave salaries or no advancements in my career.

should I get a masters?

Need suggestions please

Hey everyone! I come from a non-IT background (5 years of experience at Amazon) and I've almost completed 90% of a DevOps course. My major concern now is resume creation. Also, once they see my relieving letter, my designation will be clearly visible. (I resigned 6 months ago due to personal reasons, and since then I've gained knowledge in DevOps. However, I did not work on any DevOps-related roles or services during my tenure.)

In addition, my CTC was comparatively lower and when they ask these questions, I'll be totally clueless. I'm no longer afraid of attending DevOpsinterviews since I feel confident, but these two points are worrying me. Any insights would be greatly helpful. Thank you.

New Relic's CCU-based pricing is creating unpredictable costs, pushing teams to sample heavily

My teammate pointed out something about New Relic's pricing that I had to see for myself. They have this CCU (Compute Capacity Unit) pricing model that can lead to unpredictable costs.

When I went to their pricing page to check what he was talking about, I didn't even realize CCU-based and user-based are two separate pricing options. They present it in a way where it's easy to think CCU is just a component of their pricing, not a distinct model. Had to look twice to catch that.

I wrote about how their CCU pricing actually works based on our customer conversations. The model charges based on peak concurrent usage, so one traffic spike can blow up your monthly bill.

Has anyone here dealt with unexpected costs from CCU-based pricing? How do you handle capacity planning when your monitoring costs can spike unpredictably?

Look, as a competitor (I work at SigNoz), we're always analyzing what others are doing in the space. But this CCU pricing thing? I'm genuinely lost on how their customers budget for this.

AI agent for internal documents

Hello there! As mentioned in the noscript, I want to create a chat that replies to people's questions using the internal documents. For the simplicity I've chosen open-webui, but the replies are quite slow. What have you used with good results? Thanks in advance!

Do you ever just… vibe code the way I vibe write? 😅

So I’m not a developer, I’m in marketing. Which basically means half my life is staring at a blank doc at midnight, pouring coffee into my soul, and just writing whatever feels right in the moment. No plan. No brief. No strategy. Just vibes.

And then the next morning I’m like… “who the hell wrote this nonsense?” Oh right, me.

Lately I’ve been watching the devs I work with and holy sh*t, you guys do the exact same thing but with code. Someone gets a random 2am brainwave, spins up a repo, slaps code together like it’s jazz improv, and suddenly staging is broken and nobody wants to admit who touched it. That’s what I’ve now learned is called “vibe coding.”

As an outsider, it’s honestly hilarious and terrifying at the same time. Like bro, how is my chaotic draft doc somehow less dangerous than your chaotic repo? At least my typos don’t take prod down. I actually ended up writing a blog about this whole thing because I couldn’t stop laughing at the parallels… how marketers vibe write and devs vibe code in almost the same messy way. Dropped it here if anyone’s curious: https://www.codeant.ai/blogs/vibe-coding

But more importantly… I gotta know: do you all do this regularly? Also, let me know if you want me to cover more technical aspects in this blog for you next time.

Is anyone else fighting the too many tools monster?

I swear half my job now is just… logging into things. We’ve got one tool for tickets, another for planning, another for infra as code changes, one more for approvals, then three different dashboards because nobody can agree which metrics actually matter.

At some point it stopped feeling like we were automating anything and started feeling like the tools were running us. Every new problem seems to spawn a new platform and before long we’re spending more time maintaining the toolchain than actually shipping.

Lately we’ve been questioning whether all this fragmentation is worth it. Would we actually move faster if we cut back and consolidated into fewer systems, even if they’re not best-in-class at every single thing? Or is that just wishful thinking and this kind of tool chaos is inevitable as you scale?

Did you double down on fewer tools and make them work harder? Or embrace the sprawl and just accept that integration glue is part of the job now?

Docker container crashes on deploy-debug tips?

My Dockerized app keeps crashing right after deployment to a cloud server, but it runs fine locally-logs just show a vague "exit code 1" error. I’m using a Node.js image with a basic Dockerfile, and I’ve checked ports and env vars, but I’m stumped. Is it a memory issue, misconfigured cloud settings, or something in my container setup? Any go-to tools or tricks for pinpointing the cause?

Passed the SAA-C03 Exam, trying to figure out what to do next

Hey y’all, just passed the solutions architect exam, this week! I’ve been working with AWS for the past two years so the test wasn’t that hard! Also got officially moved into a DevOps position a couple months ago at my company. I was already setting up all of our CI/CD pipelines and managing our terraform in my data engineering group, but the most recent re-org made it official! Anyway, I thought it’d be a good idea to start gaining some certifications since I do see myself moving on from this role in the near future (I don’t feel as utilized or challenged, but that could change) and wanted to start preparing for the eventual interview and application process. I was thinking of taking the security specialist exam next, I am interested in cloud security so I’m naturally drawn to this one. Would y’all recommend getting this cert, or maybe a similar Azure cert as I also work with azure? I’m new to this career and really enjoying it, but feel behind overall and want to catch up! Any recommendations are appreciated!

Buildstash - a platform for managing binaries and releases across apps/games/embedded

For a bit over a year now, I've been building a tool for teams to manage their software binaries and releases.

Obviously tools like Artifactory exist - but coming from an apps/games background I'd found the vast majority of teams didn't use any dedicated tool for managing binaries. Finding what's out there too complex / expensive / missing features around managing releases and deployment for projects not being deployed to a package manager.

A lot of Google Drive, SharePoint, and Slack dumping grounds - with context lost, and not really suited to keeping track of past builds, distribution, etc etc.

The idea and hope for Buildstash is to bring binary and release management to teams currently without a dedicated tool for it, making it so accessible even for small teams that it becomes as much a no-brainer as having source control or CI.

So, focusing on the features devs across app/games/embedded need for managing their builds and releases. Whether around collaboration (linking builds to related issues etc), integrated beta distribution, sharing build streams and releases on their website, and rolling out to distribution platforms like the App Store / Google Play/ Steam etc.

Here's a product demo video - https://youtu.be/t4Fr6M_vIIc

our landing - https://buildstash.com

and GitHub with various integrations - https://github.com/buildstash/

We're still at a really early stage but super proud of what we've built so far! I'd really love your feedback / experiences with this problem / thoughts on what we should build next? :)

Terraform Development in large teams

So we've had a consultancy waste investors money, I mean, understand the business, to, presumably, suggest job cuts.

Anyway, we're a small team of 3 and we have enough different things to get on with that it's very rare that we have two people working on the same project (terraform root module) at the same time AND become an issue with applies in dev.

If somebody needs to apply something, we just post in Teams that weirdness will happen in your plans and please don't apply until further notice.

Furthermore, we have a sandbox subnoscription for precisely these types of scenarios, namely apply something that we're not sure about and need to apply it first.

I'd say that we run into a scenario where somebody needs to apply to dev as part of their development about 1 a month. Most of the stuff tends to be routine, e.g. add a microservice number 28, we don't need to apply before merging to test that it will do the same that the other 27.

I explained this to the consultant and he went on about how this was a terrible way of working and he was surprised that we didn't run into issues more often. When I pointed out that I take reasonable good care to avoid this by ordering tickets he just said that this was just an accident waiting to happen and that we'd been very lucky.

I asked him how it was done in big teams and he said that you apply in dev and people then merge that feature branch into their feature branch to bring in those changes, he might've said cherry pick to be fair.

I asked him what happened if the original thing wasn't quite right, he said that you fix it, apply it and then everybody else incorporates the changes again.

To me this seems horrendously inefficient and requiring massive amounts of back-channel communication, which as the team increases in size is just going to create huge problems.

While I have worked at big teams (up to 10 engineers) we hardly ever had more than 2 people on the same thing so it's never been an issue

Just wonder how people do it in big teams.

Anyone have issues with AWS quota limits being inaccurate?

We're up to 140 vcpus in our account quota but we will run \~72 vcpus in fargate across scheduled one-off jobs but we get jobs rejected due to capacity constraints even when at the time we don't have instances active in our account.

I assume they either have a sliding window they use for quota accounting and we're just overwhelming it and need some sort of cool down which we've enacted by throttling to 1/3rd of our quota as the active queue concurrency.

Edit to add: Error is "Failed to run ECS task: You've reached the limit on the number of vCPUs you can run concurrently"

Anyone else seen this or happen to know any specifics on how the quotas are applied (e.g. per 60 second windows)?

Looking for advice on scaling SEC data app (10 rps limit)

I’ve built a financial app that pulls company financials from the SEC—nearly verbatim (a few tags can be missing)—covering the XBRL era (2009/2010 to present). I’m launching a site to show detailed quarterly and annual statements.

Constraint: The SEC allows ~10 requests/second per IP, so I’m worried I can only support a few hundred concurrent users if I fetch on demand.

Goal: Scale beyond that without blasting the SEC and without storing/downloading the entire corpus.

What’s the best approach to:
• stay under ~10 rps to the SEC,
• keep storage minimal, and
• still serve fast, detailed statements to lots of users?

Any proven patterns (caching, precomputed aggregates, CDN, etc.) you’d recommend?

What in-house luxury dev tooling have you built?

At a previous job we had in house IDE extensions that checked if you were making backward incompatible changes that would break consumers in by checking against a service which held a graph of all the method usages between projects.

At current job I've made an integration that shows ci and argocd sync status badges inside our git browser.

These seem like to much effort to reinvent at next job but are were nice to have. Does your company have any cool or quirky custom tooling?

I am not secretly selling a product btw.
