The 1GB redis instance on hosted infrastructure typically comes with opinionated defaults - and tight integration with the hosting provider's other offerings - for security, monitoring, resiliency, support and license management. If yo

Let's dive into the "discipline" advice and get practical: 1. Find ways to create cues for yourself to separate the two kinds of activity, and use those cues to hint yourself - create that half-second of separation that gives

I support these 5 levels of logging, but given the discussion below I also would like to highlight a lesson from an SRE talk I once attended[citation needed] that really there are only three levels of alert: 1. DEBUG - Look at this when deb

Love this article but think the headline actually makes the wrong point - this is a product management issue, not a "it may never happen" issue. That it takes someone like James to know two wildly different domains - both the busi
