Another installment in the FreeBSD Home NAS series, though this one isn’t really about the NAS – it’s purely about running web services. The full FreeBSD/NAS series starts here – FreeBSD: Home NAS, part 1 – ZFS mirror setup, which now has 15 parts, but FEMP gets its own post. My FreeBSD host already runs… Read More »
It’s time for a major server upgrade for RTFM, which I usually do by migrating to a new server – because I also do various other upgrades along the way, like upgrading the PHP version or even migrating to a different cloud. This time I’m planning to move from DigitalOcean, where RTFM has been hosted… Read More »
One day I received one of the default VictoriaMetrics alerts that are generated during the deployment of the Helm chart victoria-metrics-k8s-stack: I thought about writing a short post like “What is Churn Rate and how to fix it,” but in the end, I ended up diving deep into how VictoriaMetrics works with data in general… Read More »
Let’s continue our journey with AWS OpenSearch Service. What we have is a small AWS OpenSearch Service cluster with three data nodes, used as a vector store for AWS Bedrock Knowledge Bases. Previous parts: AWS: Introduction to OpenSearch Service as a vector store AWS: Creating an OpenSearch Service cluster and configuring authentication and authorization Terraform:… Read More »
In the first part, we covered the basics of AWS OpenSearch Service in general and the types of instances for Data Nodes – AWS: Getting Started with OpenSearch Service as a Vector Store. In the second part, we covered access, AWS: Creating an OpenSearch Service Cluster and Configuring Authentication and Authorization. Now let’s write Terraform… Read More »
We are currently using AWS OpenSearch Service as a vector store for our RAG with AWS Bedrock Knowledge Base. We will talk more about RAG and Bedrock another time, but today let’s take a look at AWS OpenSearch Service. The task is to migrate our AWS OpenSearch Service Serverless to Managed, primarily due to (surprise)… Read More »
In the previous part, AWS: Getting Started with OpenSearch Service as a Vector Store, we looked at AWS OpenSearch Service in general, figured out how data is organized in it, what shards and nodes are, and what types of instances we actually need for data nodes. The next step is to create a cluster and… Read More »
I have already mentioned the EXPLAIN feature in the PostgreSQL: AWS RDS Performance and monitoring blog post, but this is such an interesting and useful thing that it’s worth talking about it separately. 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’re preparing to migrate our Backend API database from DynamoDB to AWS RDS with PostgreSQL, and finally decided to try out AWS RDS IAM database authentication, which appeared in 2021. IAM database authentication, as the name implies, allows us to authenticate to RDS using AWS IAM instead of the login-password from the database server itself.… Read More »
