In today’s fast-paced development environment, deploying and managing applications within Kubernetes clusters can be challenging. However, leveraging the right tools and workflows can simplify and automate this process, enhancing both efficiency and reliability. This article demonstrates how to deploy a WordPress application using GitHub, Helm charts, Argo CD, and Kubernetes, streamlining the deployment process and enabling developers to concentrate on creating exceptional software. Setting Up the Environment Before diving into the deployment process, it’s essential to set up the necessary tools and environments. This includes: Setting Up GitHub Repository: Create a GitHub repository to store Helm charts for both MySQL and WordPress applications. This repository will serve as the central source for version-controlled Helm charts. Installing Helm: Develop Helm charts for MySQL and WordPress applications needs Helm software. Helm charts define the structure and configuration of Kubernetes resources required to… Leggi tuttoAutomated WordPress Deployment with GitOps: With GitHub, Helm, Argo CD, and Kubernetes

Are you struggling to understand the differences between load balancers, reverse proxies, and API gateways? Unsure which component is best suited for your web application? You’re not alone! These key components play vital roles in modern web architectures, and knowing how they work is essential for building efficient, secure, and scalable web applications. In this blog, we’ll demystify these concepts and help you make informed decisions for your next project. Imagine a busy restaurant: the load balancer acts as the headwaiter, ensuring diners are seated evenly to optimize service; the reverse proxy is the skilled waiter who streamlines orders and ensures the best possible experience for each guest; and the API gateway is the restaurant manager who oversees and controls every aspect of the dining experience. Now, let’s translate this analogy into the world of web applications. Did you know… Leggi tuttoLoad Balancer vs. Reverse Proxy vs. API Gateway

Applications grow. As an application attracts more users, so do the databases that store the information created, whether that’s sales transactions or scientific data gathered. Larger datasets require more resources to store and process that data. Plus, with more simultaneous users using the system, the database needs more resources. When your application becomes popular, it needs to scale to meet the demand. Nobody sticks around if an application is slow — not willingly, anyway. If you need to scale, celebrate it as a good problem! But that doesn’t make the process simple. Scaling has multiple possible options, each requiring different levels of sophistication. Here, we cover scaling both as a generic challenge and specifically for Redis databases, with attention to advanced scaling using Redis Enterprise. Scaling Concepts Scaling is a multidimensional problem with several distinct solutions. Vertical scaling involves increasing a database’s… Leggi tuttoTechniques for Scaling Applications with a Database

The most lightly taken & ignored skill: Git️️⚙️ When you go to McDonald’s🍔 & order a “Double Quarter Pounder Burger with whole wheat bread bun, some extra Cheese with less tomatoes slice & extra mayonnaise with a large Coke”🍔🍶(By the way thats a huge burger man 😂) The moment you place Order: 🍔 The manager will shout out your order within the team🗣️ 🍔 2 3 people will start separately working on your order like one on chicken patty part, one on wheat bread bun, one on veggies & one on your soft drink so on🕴🏻🕴🏻 🍔 They all will first “Pull” the latest stock they have in their respective inventory like bread, veggies, chicken patty & all. 🍔 The moment all 3 4 guys are ready with their individual task, they come at a single place with their result🤌🏻😎… Leggi tuttoLearning GIT using McDonald’s

DDEV is an open source tool that makes it simple to get local PHP development environments up and running within minutes. It’s powerful and flexible as a result of its per-project environment configurations, which can be extended, version controlled, and shared. In short, DDEV aims to allow development teams to use containers in their workflow without the complexities of bespoke configuration. DDEV replaces more traditional AMP stack solutions (WAMP, MAMP, XAMPP, and so on) with a flexible, modern, container-based solution. Because it uses containers, DDEV allows each project to use any set of applications, versions of web servers, database servers, search index servers, and other types of software. In March 2022, the DDEV team announced support for Colima, an open source Docker Desktop replacement for macOS and Linux. Colima is open source, and by all reports it’s got performance gains over its alternative, so using Colima… Leggi tuttoWhy i switched form docker desktop to Colima

Kubernetes Database Operator is useful for building scalable database servers as a database (DB) cluster. But because you have to create new artifacts expressed as YAML files, migrating existing databases to Kubernetes requires a lot of manual effort. This article introduces a new open source tool named Konveyor Tackle-DiVA-DOA (Data-intensive Validity Analyzer-Database Operator Adaptation). It automatically generates deployment-ready artifacts for database operator migration. And it does that through datacentric code analysis. What is Tackle-DiVA-DOA? Tackle-DiVA-DOA (DOA, for short) is an open source datacentric database configuration analytics tool in Konveyor Tackle. It imports target database configuration files (such as SQL and XML) and generates a set of Kubernetes artifacts for database migration to operators such as Zalando Postgres Operator. DOA finds and analyzes the settings of an existing system that uses a database management system (DBMS). Then it generates manifests (YAML files) of Kubernetes… Leggi tuttoMigrate databases to Kubernetes using Konveyor
