How To Dev

Introduction Grafana: An open-source platform specialized in data visualization and monitoring. It connects to various data sources (like Prometheus, MySQL, ElasticSearch, and Loki) to create beautiful dashboards and set up automatic alerts. Grafana Loki: A log aggregation system designed by Grafana Labs. If Prometheus is the standard for metrics, Loki is "Prometheus for logs." Instead of indexing the entire log content, Loki only indexes metadata (labels), making it incredibly lightweight and resource-efficient. Why Use Grafana Loki for Log Management? Loki offers several major advantages over traditional solutions like the ELK Stack (Elasticsearch - Logstash - Kibana): Cost-Efficient Storage: Since it only indexes labels instead of full text, Loki’s index size is much smaller (often 10x smaller than Elasticsearch). You can store logs cheaply on services like AWS S3 or Google Cloud Storage. High Performance & Low Resource Usage: Loki doesn’t need massive CPU or RAM to ma...

Introduction Docker is an open platform for developing, shipping, and running applications. This page is dedicated to compiling articles related to Docker , covering both the theoretical aspects and practical applications of Docker in setting up popular tools essential for software development. I will be updating this series with more articles in the future as new ideas for topics arise. The articles are arranged in increasing order of difficulty, making it easier for you to follow along. If you have the time, I recommend starting from the beginning of the series to ensure that you grasp the necessary knowledge and information needed for the more advanced articles later on. Here are some key topics in the series that you need to explore to effectively use Docker : Basic knowledge Docker commands Docker Compose Building Docker images Performance improvement Integration with CI/CD Once you have a solid understanding of the foundational knowledge, the extended topics (including advanced...
