So here we are…the final chapter. In Part 2 of this series, we started to drill down into some of the concepts that make Kafka great. We concluded that although terminology between MQTT and Kafka was similar (for example topics), they behaved quite differently under the hood.

Docker containers are transient (lasting for a very short time), spawning quickly and in high numbers, which causes metrics bursts. This makes monitoring a challenge due to Docker's scaling and redeployment features. Docker stats is a built-in feature of Docker containers. The docker stats command returns a live data stream of your running containers. Docker is a containerization platform that lets you separate your applications from your infrastructure to deliver software quickly.

Even reducing the loading time of our website by a second can have a drastic impact on the traffic we get. It is vital for our websites to load quickly in this fast-moving world, where all the information we need can be found within a blink of an eye. One way to achieve it is using Gzip compression. The Gzip algorithm compresses and decompresses data in order to make websites load faster in a client's machine.

Role-based access control (RBAC), previously referred to as fine-grained access control (FGAC), is Grafana’s new authorization system.

With the release of Grafana 9.0 during GrafanaCONline 2022, RBAC is enabled by default for all instances. (The easiest way to get started with Grafana 9?

As a result, there has been an erosion of consumer trust and confidence in the travel industry.
