I compile the best of the best things that I come across and share them in my LinkedIn posts.

This week we covered:

  1. Estimate your infra cost before you deploy it!
  2. Tooljet — Is low code the future?
  3. Vscode Sorter Plugin
  4. Python Autoscraper

I write about the tools and tips related to Software Development and SRE regularly on my Linkedin profile. You can check out my profile here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vikasyadav94/

Estimate your infra cost before you deploy it!

Can you see the estimated cost of your cloud infrastructure before you even deploy it?

Turns out yes. Check out this amazing open-source project:
Infracost: https://lnkd.in/eEn8-a5p

Infracost shows cloud cost estimates for Terraform. It lets DevOps, SRE and engineers see a cost breakdown and understand costs before making changes, either in the terminal or pull requests.

This project is worth integrating into your terraform CI/CD pipeline.

Tooljet — Is low code the future?

Is low-code/no-code the future?

Maybe or maybe not. Depends on the use case you are looking at. One thing I agree with is that it can drastically reduce the development time for internal tools and prototyping.

Here’s a low-code framework that I’ve been testing these days. Give it a shot! It’s amazing. You can quickly implement complex use cases without writing a single line of code: https://lnkd.in/eS-YAJr6

This low-code framework supports
-> Multiple databases — like — MySQL, Postgres, Elasticsearch, MongoDB and more
-> Multiple cloud storages — like — AWS S3, Minio, Google Cloud Storage
-> Multiple services like — Slack, Stripe, Google Maps and more

You can also leverage it to build prototypes fairly quickly.

Go ahead, give it a try and let me know your thoughts. Also — please share your favorite low-code tool in the comments section.

Vscode sorter Plugin

Sometimes — all you need is to sort things out a bit!

Here’s a vscode plugin that I find extremely useful to sort text in code when needed.

Python Autoscraper

Do you want to make web scraping an effortless job? Try this!

Autoscraper is a wonderful library that lets you generate the DOM parsing logic just by passing the text that you want to look for — this saves a lot of time if you’re trying to extract content from an HTML page.

In this video, I try to extract FAQs from a website. I did not write any DOM parsing logic. I just leveraged the Autoscraper library to build a model which helped me extract all the data easily.

This is my first attempt at making a video tutorial. Hope it was helpful. Please drop in your suggestions.
