  • terratest

    Terratest is a Go library that makes it easier to write automated tests for your infrastructure code.

  • Using tools like terratest and opa for kubernetes you can test your infrastructure code. Yet, during interviews whenever I ask about these tools, nobody implements them! I can't help but wonder why not? Does no one see the business value in reducing errors that make it to prod, or am I not advocating for these tools in an effective manor enough? What are your thoughts?

  • kube-monkey

    An implementation of Netflix's Chaos Monkey for Kubernetes clusters

  • Exactly the kind of thing I love to see! Sounds like a great use case for a tool like kube-monkey as well.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
