As organizations increasingly adopt containerization for their applications, container orchestration platforms have become essential tools for managing and scaling containerized workloads. Two of the most popular container orchestration platforms today are Docker Swarm and Kubernetes. While both platforms share some similarities, they differ in architecture, scalability, high availability, container management, and learning curve.

Let’s start by running a little experiment – generating heavy I/O usage on the system: sysbench --threads=8 --time=0 --max-requests=0 fileio --file-num=1 --file-total-size=10G --file-io-mode=sync --file-extra-flags=direct

In simpler terms, logical replication in PostgreSQL is a way to copy data from one database to another in a more flexible and customizable manner compared to physical replication. Instead of copying the entire database, logical replication focuses on replicating changes made to individual rows or transactions. To set up logical replication, you create a publication on the source database and a subscription on the target database.

When code breaks, our first move is carefully inspecting the call stack. It helps us find the needle in the haystack by understanding how, where, and why the failure occurred, including how we got there. However, in a message-based system, we no longer have a single call stack. We’ve exchanged it for a haystack of call stacks , which makes finding the needle (the root cause of the failure) even more difficult. ?

Batch request processing is a powerful technique used in web development to improve the performance of APIs. It allows developers to group multiple API requests into a single HTTP request/response cycle. In other words, a single API request from a client can be turned into multiple API requests to a set of backend servers, and the responses are aggregated into a single response to the client.
