CatOps Digest 2024-06-09
What was on CatOps in the last couple of weeks…
I missed a couple of newsletters, because I was a bit busy and thus there were not that many posts in the channel. Also, it’s finally warm in Berlin, so I try to spend more time outside, especially on the weekends.
So, here we go!
