Threats against technology are also growing exponentially along with technology. Cybercrime is big business; hackers are breaking into systems and stealing data using ever-more-advanced methods. Artificial Intelligence may hold the answer to defeating these nefarious forces. AI can assist in identifying new threats as they emerge in real-time and even foresee future assaults before they happen by employing machine learning algorithms and predictive analytics.

N.B. This is an update to my 2020 article Site-Speed Topography. You will need to catch up with that piece before this one makes sense. Around two and a half years ago, I debuted my Site-Speed Topography technique for getting broad view of an entire site’s performance from just a handful of key URLs and some readily available metrics. In that time, I have continued to make extensive use of the methodology (alongside additional processes and workflows), and even other performance monitoring tools

When building an IoT-based service, we need to implement a messaging mechanism that transmits data collected by the IoT devices to a hub or a server. That mechanism is known as a messaging protocol. A messaging protocol is a set of rules and formats that are agreed upon among entities that want to communicate with each other. When dealing with IoT, one of the first things that come to mind is the limited processing, networking, and storage capabilities these devices operate with.

From time to time, situations occur where unusual circumstances dictate out-of-the-box thinking. For example, suppose you have a system where you’ve installed multiple data clusters onto a single host. What you end up with is a host breaking up and sharing valuable system resources, i.e., CPU, RAM, disk, etc., between multiple instances of PostgreSQL data clusters.

Sometimes, it is necessary to examine the behavior of a system to determine which process has utilized its resources, such as memory or CPU time. These resources are often scarce and may not be easily replenished, making it important for the system to record its status in a file. By doing so, it becomes feasible to identify the most resource-intensive process in the past.

What is compaction in the database? Think of your disks as a warehouse: The compaction mechanism is like a team of storekeepers (with genius organizing skills like Marie Kondo) who help put away the incoming data. In particular, the data (which is the inflowing cargo in this metaphor) comes in on a "conveyor belt," which does not allow cutting in line.
