Open Source is a great way to learn and contribute to the community. With a nearly endless array of open source projects available to consume and contribute to these days, Need some inspiration? Whether you’re new to the world of open source, are gearing up for Open Source in the new year, or just want to see what other folks are excited about, check out a few of my favorite open source projects i discovered during 2022.
Documentation is the most critical activity of any product development. The engineer and user experience improve when there is up-to-date Documentation. Most often, in organizations and products, Documentation is an afterthought, and this is not a good practice. If we want more engineers to contribute to the product, Documentation should be considered as code and part of the product development. Engineers should be encouraged to write Documentation before writing the source code.
REST (Representational State Transfer) is an architectural style for building distributed systems. A Web API conforms to the REST architectural style, called RESTful Web API.
REST APIs are stateless, client-server, cacheable, layered systems designed around resources. The set of resources is known as the REST API's resource model
The way to achieve fault tolerance in MongoDB is through the use of replica sets.
Two or more secondary nodes along with a primary node forms a replica set. Application makes all the read/write calls to the primary node which propagate all the write requests synchronously or asynchronously to the secondary nodes.
The Secondary nodes fetches the data via Oplog pull from Primary or other nodes.
An Software Bill of Materials (SBoM) is a formal record containing the details and supply chain relationships of various components used in building the software. These components, including libraries and modules, can be proprietary or open source,free or paid and the data can be widely available or access-restricted.
In this blog post, i will walk you through the steps required to containerize Percona Server for MongoDB, Percona Backup Manager, and Agent from source and configure cloud-native S3(Simple Storage Service) compatible distributed object storage MINIO to backup and restore Percona MongoDB snapshot backups.
As I explored and set up an increased number of FOSS software using containers(Docker and LXD) and virtual machines(Multipass) in my home lab environment, I realized the difficulty in remembering the different ports the applications and containers are running. The solution to address this problem was to have a Domain Name System for the local network, which works to resolve local and external addresses with a reverse proxy to redirect calls based on DNS resolution.
In my previous blog post, I posted about configuring Replica Set to meet high availability requirements.
In this post, i cover
In this article we will see the steps required to create and configure MongoDB replicaset containers on persistent volumes using Docker Compose. Compose was developed to define, configure and spin-up multi-container docker applications with single command, further reducing . Extensive usage of Docker with several container management quickly becomes cumbersome, Compose overcomes this problem and allows to easily handle multiple containers at once using YAML configuration docker-compose.yml
Docker Containers offer easy setup, customization and scalability. In this article, i will walk you through how to use Docker to setup MongoDB standalone and replica set containers within minutes.
The article is divided in two parts, the first part is setting up the standalone MongoDB container and second part is setting up and grouping MongoDB containers as member of replica set with Docker.
Let’s get started.
