The last time I’ve used decorators in Python about 10 years ago, in Python 2, and I want to refresh my memory a bit, because now I’ve started using them quite actively, so want to see how it works under the hood, and what it is in general. The post turned out a bit… weird?… Read More »
We have an AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service with the VictoriaMetrics stack deployed (see VictoriaMetrics: deploying a Kubernetes monitoring stack). I need to migrate the data from the old VMSingle Pod to the new one on the new cluster, and to do this, I need to find VMSingle’s data on an EC2. Note: regarding the migration… Read More »

In addition, AWS RDS for PostgreSQL has the ability to enable Execution Plans logging with EXPLAIN, which is also useful for monitoring… Read More »
We are migrating our Backend API from DynamoDB to AWS RDS PostgreSQL, and several times RDS crashed. Actually, given that we took db.t3.small with two vCPUs and two gigabytes of memory to save money, it was quite expected, but I wondered why everything was crashing. A few days later, I started to debug the issue,… Read More »
We continue the migration from Grafana Loki to VictoriaLogs, and the next task is to transfer Recording Rules from Loki to VictoriaLogs and update the alerts. Recording Rules and integration with VMAlert were brought to VictoriaLogs relatively recently, and I haven’t tested this scheme yet. Therefore, we will first do everything by hand to see… Read More »
