Observability platforms are akin to the immune system. Just like immune cells are everywhere in human bodies, an observability platform patrols every corner of your devices, components, and architectures, identifying any potential threats and proactively mitigating them. However, I might have gone too far with that metaphor, because till these days, we have never invented a system as sophisticated as the human body, but we can always make advancements.

On Episode 73 of the Tech Transforms podcast , MITRE’s Tracy Bannon and I sat down with Allan Friedman , a senior advisor and strategist at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). We chatted about federal cybersecurity and Friedman’s mission to make the software bill of materials (SBOM) a boring, expected part of software delivery to the federal government.

Much has already been said about the importance of automated tests: they provide a great safety net when modifying system components, alerting to issues much earlier in the development lifecycle. As a result, bugs are prevented from ever reaching production environments. When we're working with legacy code that has very low automated test coverage (or no test coverage at all), building automated tests can be difficult and frustrating.

Huge pages make PostgreSQL faster; can we implement it in Kubernetes? Modern servers operate with terabytes of RAM, and by default, processors work with virtual memory address translation for each 4KB page. OS maintains a huge list of allocated and free pages to make slow but reliable address translation from virtual to physical. Please check out the Why Linux HugePages are Super Important for Database Servers: A Case with PostgreSQL blog post for more information.

The InnoDB buffer pool acts as a powerhouse for MySQL, caching frequently accessed data and index pages in memory to accelerate query performance. In this blog post, we will go through the process of InnoDB buffer pool resizing online, covering why it is important to monitor its progress and how to monitor it. Importance of monitoring the InnoDB buffer pool resize Since MySQL 5.7.5, we have been able to resize the InnoDB buffer pool online, which allows administrators to adjust the buffer pool s

A new era of computing where portability and power are combined has arrived with the introduction of Mini PCs. These small but powerful devices are now more than just media centers or low-power workstations, which was their original function. Virtualization is one of the more complex tasks that Mini PCs can handle today. The technology of virtualization enables the creation of numerous virtual instances or machines on a single physical host.
