DevOps Engineering

Ship a Node.js app with GitHub Actions, a self-hosted runner on AWS EC2, Nginx reverse proxy, custom domain, and free SSL — before diving into Jenkins.

8 lessons

Learn Jenkins and CI/CD fundamentals, install Jenkins on AWS EC2 with Docker, explore the dashboard, and create your first GitHub-based Freestyle job.

5 lessons

Automate a Node.js app with Freestyle jobs, configure triggers and post-build actions, then move to Pipeline as Code with a Jenkinsfile.

5 lessons

Deepen pipeline concepts, wire GitHub webhooks and credentials, and ship a full CI/CD pipeline: test, Docker build, Docker Hub push, and deploy.

4 lessons

Build branch-based Multibranch pipelines, set up Master–Agent architecture, and lock down secrets with Jenkins Credentials security practices.

3 lessons

Introduce logging, monitoring, and alerts with New Relic — host monitoring, NRQL, APM for Node.js, Winston logs, percentiles, and why teams also learn open-source stacks.

7 lessons

Learn monitoring and observability, deploy a Docker monitoring stack, scrape metrics with Prometheus, visualize in Grafana, centralize logs with Loki, and set production alerts.

5 lessons

Control playbook execution with when conditionals, loops, handlers, tags, limits, and execution strategies.

4 lessons

Render Jinja2 templates, encrypt secrets with Ansible Vault, handle failures cleanly, and organize automation into reusable roles.

4 lessons
