I'm searching for open source DevOps projects that are fully functional yet lack the necessary DevOps tools like pipelines, Kubernetes configurations, and Docker files. My goal is to use one of these projects to showcase my expertise in integrating these tools, advancing the application from continuous integration to monitoring capabilities.

You should definitely check out the microservices demo on GitHub by Google Cloud Platform. It's a great project to practice writing CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes manifests, plus you can add OpenTelemetry for monitoring.
If you're looking for something more personal, consider building a homelab. It's a great way to put your skills to the test and can really help you stand out in interviews!
Another option is to use the RealWorld "Medium clone" app. You can containerize it, set up CI/CD, deploy it on Kubernetes, and integrate monitoring and logging systems. It's a solid hands-on project!

That's a good point! A homelab can really give you practical experience and set you apart from other candidates.
