Logging is essential for successful DevSecOps teams. Logs are filled with the information needed to monitor and understand systems. Tracking down a defect? Trying to understand a sudden burst in questionable logins from a new region? Need to figure out why an app is crawling? Logs are that single source of truth for understanding what’s really happening.

Specialization Made Necessary A hospital is overcrowded with experts and doctors each with their own specializations, solving unique problems. Surgeons, cardiologists, pediatricians — experts of all kinds join hands to provide care, often collaborating to get the patients the care they need. We can do the same with AI. Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture in artificial intelligence is defined as a mix or blend of different "expert" models working together to deal with or respond to complex data

Using Testcontainers has radically improved the process of working with test scenarios. Thanks to this tool, creating environments for integration tests has become simpler (see the article Isolation in Testing with Kafka ). Now we can easily launch containers with different versions of databases, message brokers, and other services. For integration tests, Testcontainers has proven indispensable.

In this article, we will demonstrate how to have a single MySQL database user account that can connect from specific hosts. We would usually implement it by creating separate user accounts with the same username but different hosts/IPs like <USER>@<HOST1>, <USER>@<HOST2> …. <USER>@<HOSTn> Then, give those users the same grants(privileges/roles) and settings(password, SSL, etc).
