Is it a bad idea to open up a graphql playground publically? All of our routes that need it have auth requirements, so it would mostly be just exposing the public schema

Apparently fastly broke the Internet 😆

Can anyone have (best) suggestions on below question??
This is for Kubernetes Micro-services. Cloud: AWS (But, we manage the cluster)
1. What is the best open source Service Mesh?
2. What is the best open source API Gateway?
3. Is it ok to have both Service Mesh and API Gateway? If so, what is the best combination of both?

Hey guys, I am considering changing from terraform cloud to another service. Have anyone used CircleCi or Scalr or any other service?
The main issue with Terraform Cloud is that having too many concurrent runs and the total runs per month is expensive, and I need to run over 5K runs per month.

Hi people,
any Infrastructure as Code practitioners here? I'd need to pick your brain for a second please, to help us prioritize items on an OSS tool roadmap 🙂
If you look at your setup (or your customer's), would you say that:

1️⃣ You only use a single IaC solution (ex: CloudFormation only, Terraform only, Pulumi only...)
2️⃣ You use multiple IaC solutions on purpose for different resources/use cases (ex: CloudFormation + Terraform or ARM+Terraform and/or the serverless framework)
3️⃣ You use multiple solutions today but plan to migrate to a single solution (ex migrating from a mix of CloudFormation + Terraform to Terraform only)

Many thanks for your feedback, it really helps

this looks really interesting: https://steampipe.io/ anyone played with it yet?

i can see a ton of compliance usecases

steampipe looks very interesting indeed. I’ve written entire python and javascript programs that do what the whois module does in just a few lines!

Hi everyone, glad to be in this slack! First time joining SweetOps office hours! Bit about me, I work as a DevOps engineer for a mid-tier cloud consulting firm. Outside of my professional work, I also consult on all things AWS for various client and some software development. Nice to meet you all 😄

Hey 👋 - I've started to Open Source some very simple Prometheus exporters for AWS that might be of interest to people. The first one exports some potentially useful ECR repository and image metrics: https://github.com/aws-exporters/ecr
