cracked job interview - applied for dev role, got hired for DevOps skills

I have recently been interviewed by product company for a Full-Stack dev role. They required building demo assignment.

Though I initially planned to build a conventional monolithic app and deploy it on Render or Railway but I had learned decent level of AWS Serverless in my current role so I thought why not leverage that.

The company planned to test code quality but got more interested in knowing about my DevOps skills since I had put special level of emphasis on it.

- GitHub actions CICD
- AWS CloudFormation IaC
- OIDC for secrets
- kill switch for DDoS
- guardrails for DoW

Surprisingly, the demo assignment + explanatory rounds impressed them enough that I landed the job.

I have open sourced the entire codebase for any newbies to learn.
