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 as a code
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.
Understanding REST API Design Rules
Introduction to REST API
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
Understanding MongoDB Replicasets and Write Concern - Part 1
Introducing Replicasets
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.
Guide to Software Bill of Materials(SBoM) and Docker SBOM CLI
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.
How to configure Percona MongoDB Replicaset, Percona Backup Manager, Backup Agent using Docker and perform Replicaset backup, restore using S3 compatible object storage – MINIO
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.
Local Home Lab DNS Setup with DNSMasq and NGINX
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.
Configure Sharding in MongoDB on Docker Containers
In my previous blog post, I posted about configuring Replica Set to meet high availability requirements.
In this post, i cover
- MongoDB Sharded Cluster Components
- Steps to create MongoDB Sharded Cluster using Docker Compose
- Add Replica Set as a Shard
- Sharding Data
- Verify Distribution of Data
MongoDB Replicaset with Persistent Volume using Docker Compose
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
Create MongoDB Standalone and Replica Set containers using Docker
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.
