Did you notice that the majority of widely known outages (hello, AWS and CloudFlare) happen because of software errors or improper configs. Very few outages happen because of hardware issues (the last widely known outage was when OVH datacenters burnt in fire in March 2021).

Sometimes I use `go tool pprof` for investigation of CPU and memory profiles via command line interface. I actively use the `list` command for inspecting the source code from profiles. The `list` command didn't work for common cases such as: - Listing sources from Go standard

Agreed 100%

VictoriaMetrics v1.132.0 contains an optimized OpenTelemetry protocol parser, which is up to 6x faster than the previous one. I don't like OpenTelemetry protocol for metrics because it is over-engineered and bloated, but it was fun optimizing the OTEL metrics' parser with the

Quick benchmark on Prometheus + Loki vs VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaLogs: With just ~10h of data from a 10-node simulation cluster, the Prom+Loki stack already consumed more resources than Victoria does for an entire day. But the real win? Dashboard RT dropped dramatically.

"Docker Compose doesn't scale." Neither does your app. You have 500 requests per day. Docker Compose on a single server handles 50,000. But you chose Kubernetes because: - "Industry standard" - "Resume building" - "Future proofing" - "The blog said so" Now you have: -

Great blog post about wide events! It's pity it doesn't mention open source databases optimized for wide events such as VictoriaLogs :( You can play with the real wide events - GitHub events - at VictoriaLogs playground - play-vmlogs.victoriametrics.com/select/vmui/?#…

uncloud.run looks amazing for homelabs. Super easy to set up and has exactly what you might need. Huge thanks Pasha Sviderski! Seriously considering migrating from my k8s to uncloud. qq: Can I expose a container port on the host or private net? Couldn't find it.

I rarely write clear and maintainable code from the first attempt. But I constantly ask myself "whether this code could be simplified in order to improve its' readability and maintainability?". If the answer is "yes", I immediately simplify the code. The end result is clearer and

When you migrate from Grafana Loki to VictoriaLogs, the following resources may be helpful to you: - Grafana Loki to VictoriaLogs query converter playground - play-logql.victoriametrics.com . The source code of the converter - github.com/VictoriaMetric… - Tutorial on how to convert Loki
