Hi cyber security fans. Welcome to the article “Application and AWS CloudWatch as security monitoring tools”, where we will speak about some DevSecOps best practices and not only. The article is built within 2 connected parts: How to use CloudWatch logs, understanding Application logs with CloudWatch insights and dashboards. Custom CloudWatch metrics and alerts as sensitive detector...
Hi, everybody That is a general wrapper topic, rather then article by itself, where I am going to aggregate different posts related with cyber security for web applications. Below you may different links (I will new articles gradually) that, which I hope, would be useful: Application and AWS CloudWatch as security monitoring tools Database encryption at PHP Symfony Web App Google Workspace...
Hi, DevOps fans That is a general wrapper topic, rather then article by itself, where I am going to aggregate different posts related with cost and performance optimizations at AWS cloud. As you know, AWS Cloud is a huge “combine” with hundreds of services, ant it’s costs appears to be high in many cases. Though there are some standard and much more less obvious things, that can...
Hi, While making an online course “Elasticsearch as you have never known it before” I’ve created 3 separate sections with practice examples on how to build an advanced search system based on the Elasticsearch engine. According to course video sections next tutorials also appeared accordingly at current blog: Java Elasticsearch Elasticsearch Python Flask Symfony Elasticsearch I suppose it...
Hi, Elasticsearch fans At current article I would like to show you how to work with Elasticsearch 8 version using Spring Boot 3.x version and Spring Data Elasticsearch 5.x package. It appeared that at Spring Data Elasticsearch 5.x version has a lot of different changes. First of all Elasticsearch 8 has security options enabled out of the box. As result the way we have to connect to search engine...
Hi, DevOps fans Recently, 04.12.2023-05.12.2023. I have a pleasant occasion to perform AWS OpenSearch service performance benchmarks. The reason for that has a rather long story, but I will try to shorten it as much as possible. There is one application that uses Elasticsearch for performing different search operations. I will call it “Search App” below in text. Current application was migrated...
Hi, The more I am working at Software production area (and it is almost 20 years), the more I am coming to the conclusion, that support and maintenance in many cases are more essential then “beautiful” code with using design patterns. Don’t think that I have something against best practices – quite reverse. I am fond of design programming patterns and I am using it...
Hi, Elasticsearch fans. As probably all of you know, indexing of documents at Elasticsearch can appear to be a rather often operation. Changing fields mapping or document relationships, changing the number of shards and many other things force us to make reindexing of whole data. And when we have great amounts of data – then it appears to be a great problem. At that article we will speak...
Hi, Recently I’ve met a problem with REDIS memory usage at AWS ElastiCache service. It appeared that after some release, that happened 2 weeks ago, memory usage started to grow gradually like a snail. As result our memory monitoring caught the problem rather late. Here is the screen for AWS CloudWatch how it looked. While analyzing release by itself, I found a lot of changes related with...
Hi, That is the beginning of article’s series devoted to the deep insides of Elasticsearch cluster. I will try to describe the most interesting and useful aspects of how Elasticsearch works, what is shards, what makes impact at performance, how to choose hardware and what parameters should be under constant monitoring. I will try to explain all as simple as possible sharing my 8...
