Oracle performance issues rarely come from a single metric. This guide breaks down the most important Oracle performance indicators across instance health, memory, storage, waits, SQL, and availability, and shows how to use them together to detect bottlenecks early and prevent downtime.
To truly master Kubernetes, you need a safe sandbox, and running a lightweight distribution is the perfect solution for your local development workflow. These smaller K8s flavors provide a full-featured, yet constrained, environment that is easy on system resources. Both MicroK8s (maintained by Canonical) and k3s (from Rancher) are popular, production-ready options that deliver the core K8s experience with minimal operational burden, low storage needs, and simple networking setups.
These two platforms are fantastic for learning, experimentation, rapid testing, and skill development. If you don't know which one to choose, this post will give you the quick overview you need to decide.

Finally:Iocaine 3. That last one didn’t just block bots, it lured them into a maze of junk pages. The .. read more
Refinery 3.0 cuts CPU by 70% and slashes RAM by 60%. The trick: selective field extraction from serialized spans. No full deserialization. Fewer heap allocations. Way less waste. It also recycles buffers, handles metrics smarter, and is gearing up to parallelize its core decision loop... read more
A team movedover 1 billion production records- no downtime, no drama. The stack: dual writes, Kafka retries, and idempotent inserts to keep it clean. They ranshadow readsto sniff for errors, chunked the transfers with checksums, and held off indexing to keep inserts fast. Caches got warmed early to .. read more
ParadeDB brings Elasticsearch-stylefacetingtoPostgreSQL, ranked search results and filter counts, all in one shot. No extra passes.

Shell scripts love to break across macOS and Linux. Blame all the GNU vs BSD quirks;sed,date,readlink, take your pick. The mess adds up fast, especially in build pipelines and CI systems. This post makes the case for a cleaner way:Python 3. Standard library. Predictable behavior. Same results whethe.. read more
