We continue to expand our marketplace. Recently, we discussed how we created the Gitlab image, and this week Drupal has appeared in our marketplace. We are explaining why we chose it and how the image was created. Drupal is a convenient and powerful platform for creating all types of websites: from microsites and blogs to large social projects, also used as a foundation for web applications, […]
It seems that the developers of Terraform provide quite convenient best practices for working with AWS infrastructure. However, there’s a catch. Over time, the number of environments increases, each with its own peculiarities. There’s an almost exact copy of the application stack in the neighboring region. Terraform code needs to be carefully copied and edited according to new requirements or made into a snowflake. My presentation is about patterns in Terraform to combat […]
There are numerous materials on installing WordPress, and a Google search for the keywords 'WordPress install' yields about half a million results. Nevertheless, among them, there are very few quality guides that can help you install and configure WordPress and the underlying operating system so that they can be supported over a long period.

How the Airbnb data discovery tool changed my life Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to work on some interesting problems: I studied flow mathematics while […]
While researching data storage resilience in cloud systems, I decided to test myself and ensure that I understood the basics. I started by reading the NVMe specification to understand the guarantees regarding durable data storage (i.e., the guarantees that data will be accessible after a system failure) provided by NMVe drives. I made the following key points […]
As we prepare for the launch of a new set for the 'Databases' course, we continue to publish a series of articles on encryption in MySQL. In the previous article in this series, we discussed how encryption works with the master key. Today, based on the knowledge gained earlier, we will look at the rotation of master keys. Master key rotation involves generating a new master key and using this new one […]
tl;dr: I am building an image of Kali Linux for an ARM computer using debootstrap, linux, and u-boot. If you purchased a less popular single-board computer, you may have encountered a lack of an image for your favorite distribution. A similar situation occurred with the planned Flipper One. There is simply no Kali Linux for IMX6 (I'm preparing it), so I have to build it myself. The boot process is quite […]
Habib M’henni / Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA Nowadays, launching a server on hosting takes just a few minutes and a few clicks. But immediately after launch, it enters a hostile environment, as it is open to the entire internet like an innocent girl at a rock disco. It will quickly be detected by scanners and discovered by thousands of automated script bots that are lurking […]

Developers have been discussing the advantages of blockchain technology for many years. They have justified this with vague 'use cases' along with unclear definitions of how the technology works, what it is actually needed for, and how the platforms implementing it differ from one another. It is no surprise that this has led to confusion and mistrust towards blockchain technology. In this article, I want to describe […]
How does a backend developer know that an SQL query will perform well in production? In large or rapidly growing companies, access to production is not available to everyone. Moreover, even with access, not all queries can be safely tested, and creating a copy of the database often takes hours. To solve these issues, we created an artificial DBA — Joe. He has already successfully […]
