What I'm reading - 7th November 2023 (#1)

My first edition of What I’m reading I don’t intend to become another aggregator of content but rather just want to use this a space to sporadically share the articles / blogs / podcasts I’ve found interesting lately.

[article] Generating Mermaid Syntax Diagrams with AI-powered Amazon Bedrock. This was an interesting read that opened up yet another good use of generative AI (ChatGPT et all) in software development activities.

[podcast] Key findings from the 2023 State of DevOps Report (Engineering Enablement Podcast). Abi does a deep dive into the recent findings from the 2023 State of DevOps report from DORA with Nathen Harvey (who leads DORA at Google).

[whitepaper] Platform Engineering Maturity Model. Published by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, this paper gives organisations a clear path to maturity for platform engineering, it built upon research that was published earlier this year.

[paper] Towards Modern Development of Cloud Applications and Cloud Native Software Engineering . I’ve not had a chance to read either of these papers yet but they look interesting.
