I'm pretty new as a junior data engineer, I have a business degree and come more from an analytics background, so a lot of the more engineering-side stuff is still unfamiliar to me.

My company uses AWS and GitLab, and we don't have many permissions to deploy much manually through the management console, everything has to go through CloudFormation and CI/CD pipelines. It's quite overwhelming trying to figure out where to get started.

My manager isn't very technical too, so I'm having to try and learn a lot of this on my own. I've tried using AI to help, but I'm not sure if I'm just prompting poorly, it's still been a pain to make much progress.

Just wondering if anyone has any advice on how to make progress here?
