In a MySQL master-slave high availability (HA) setup, it is important to continuously monitor the health of the master and slave servers so you can detect potential issues and take corrective actions. In this blog post, we explain some basic health checks you can do on your MySQL master and slave nodes to ensure your setup is healthy. The monitoring program or script must alert the high availability framework in case any of the health checks fails, enabling the high availability framework to tak

Dynatrace news. Traditionally, it’s critical for Dev and Ops teams to be able to quickly discover and remediate application performance and customer-facing issues. On the other side of the organization, application owners have hired teams of analysts to dig through web analytics tools to gain insights into the customer experience. But never have these two siloed teams been able to tie together their application performance and user experience to business metrics such as revenue, conversion rates

One of the absolute best things you can do to help keep performance in check is to provide a series of visible, well-placed checks and balances in your development workflow to always keep performance front-of-mind. One thing I’m very excited about in this context is feature policies. Feature-Policy is a relatively new feature that lets you opt-in or out of certain browser features on your site.

You might remember that I’ve done quite a bit of content when it comes to developing GraphQL APIs with the Go programming language (Golang). Heck, I’ve even written a book and published a course on the subject. However, in everything I’ve done thus far, I haven’t demonstrated how to interact with a GraphQL using Golang. Sure, a lot of the time you’ll be using something like React, Angular, or Vue to interact with your web service, but that doesn’t mean you&rsq

C++ “move” semantics are simple, and unchanged since C++11. But they are still widely misunderstood, sometimes because of unclear teaching and sometimes because of a desire to view move as something else instead of what it is. This post is an attempt to shed light on that situation. Thank you to the following for their feedback on drafts of this material: Howard Hinnant (lead designer and author of move semantics), Jens Maurer, Arthur O’Dwyer, Geoffrey Romer, Bjarne Stroustrup,

Jen Simmons explains how to improve image loading by simply using width and height attributes. The issue is that there’s a lot of jank when an image is first loaded because an img will naturally have a height of 0 before the image asset has been successfully downloaded by the browser. Then it needs to repaint the page after that which pushes all the content around.

The motivation is not that inference will perform better inside the database, but that the database is the best place to take advantage of enterprise features (transactions, security, auditing, HA, and so on).

Cloud providers, such as AWS, Azure, and GCP, help to automate the process of upscaling or downscaling compute power by providing autoscaling groups. Beyond cloud provider solutions, there are multiple additional frameworks and tools that help IT departments to dynamically adapt their compute power dynamically.

As a platform for helping development teams to plan, track, and release software, it’s no wonder that Jira is such a popular Agile Planning tool. But if you’re part of a large and complex organization, Jira probably isn’t the only tool you’re using in your software delivery toolchain. The use of multiple, non-integrated tools creates a fragmented workflow, constraining efficiency and data integrity across the software delivery value stream — and across the rest of your business.
