At the time of writing, 99.9% of pages on the web include at least one image. The median image-weight per page landed at 881KB in 2022 , which is more than HTML, CSS, JS, and fonts combined! And while images do not block rendering (unless you do something silly ), it’s important to consider how we offer a reasonably pleasant experience while users are waiting for images to load.

In this blog post, we will discuss replacing a Mongo node. Consider a scenario when a node is going to be decommissioned for some reason or if a node’s data partition is almost full and not extendable. To avoid the disk getting full or decommissioned, we need to replace that node with a new node. Note : Make sure to have enough oplog window to cover this activity.

The World Has Changed, and We Need To Adapt The world has gone through a tremendous transformation in the last fifteen years. Cloud and microservices changed the world.
