In Kubernetes, Deployment and StatefulSet are both controllers used to manage Pods, but they serve different purposes based on the application's requirements. Here’s a breakdown of their key differences:

1. Use Case

Deployment:
- Best for stateless applications (e.g., web servers, REST APIs).
- Pods are interchangeable (no unique identity or persistent storage).
- Scaling up/down or rolling updates don’t require stable identities or ordered operations.
StatefulSet:
Designed for stateful applications (e.g., databases like MySQL, Kafka, Elasticsearch).

Steps

1. GCP Account Setup

Sign up for GCP Free Trial (requires credit card for billing).
Create a Project in the GCP Console.

2. Enable Billing

Go to Billing → Link a Billing Account to your project.

The itemgetter function from Python's operator module creates a callable that retrieves items from objects using indices (for sequences like lists/tuples) or keys (for mappings like dictionaries). It is efficient and commonly used with functions like sorted(), max(), and min() for clean, readable code.

Importing `itemgetter`

from operator import itemgetter

Core Principles for Scaling Systems

Embrace Failure as Inevitable
- Design for graceful degradation, automatic recovery, and chaos testing.
- Example: "Like brushing your teeth" – build resilience into daily workflows.
Simplify to Scale
- Zoom out: Prioritize high-impact components.
- Declutter services: Eliminate redundant systems to reduce failure points.

Aug 9 - Got a calendar event titled "ER Connect". This was where they mentioned that I had to choose between PIP or Severance.
Aug 11 - Deadline for signing Acceptance. Signed and accepted the package a few minutes before the deadline.
Aug 19 - Official last day of work. Lose access to workplace, email, office buildings.

Here's how to undo your last commit (that accidentally included __pycache__) and prevent it from being tracked in the future:

1. Undo the Last Commit (But Keep Changes)

git reset --soft HEAD~1

This will:
- Remove the commit (fd8b15c)

Open VS Code Keyboard Shortcuts
- Press Ctrl + K then Ctrl + S (Windows/Linux)
- OR Cmd + K then Cmd + S (Mac)
  (This opens the keyboard shortcuts editor.)
Search for the Python Run Command
- Type in the search bar:
```
Python: Run Python File in Terminal
```

	Software Engineer Career Ladder at Google

	Here’s an understanding of the software engineer career ladder at Google:
	Software Engineer I (Level 2)

	SWE-I refers to a fresh out of college software engineer or an intern still pursuing a four-year bachelor’s degree in an engineering program.
	Software Engineer II (Level 3)

	Google entry-level software engineer is a designated Level 3 coding engineer with an undergraduate degree in a computer-related field. It is also common for an SWE-II to have a Master’s degree. However, since they possess 0 to 1 year of industry experience, they are assigned an entry-level position. On average, they earn a base salary of $130,041 per year.
	Software Engineer III (Level 4)
