Stop being scared of yaml

By the end of this track you will have built and operated a production-grade microservice platform with CI/CD, blue-green deploys, autoscaling, observability, and a working incident-response runbook.

What you will operate

• A 4-service Node.js + Postgres + Redis application, containerised with Docker and orchestrated on Kubernetes (EKS and a local kind cluster).
• Terraform-managed AWS infrastructure: VPC, RDS, S3, IAM, ALB, CloudFront.
• GitHub Actions pipelines with PR previews, signed image builds, and SBOM generation.
• An observability stack: OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Loki, and a working PagerDuty integration.

Includes $300 in AWS credits, lifetime lab access, and a full incident simulation in week 8.
