Stackdriver Push to Splunk
During my career (in technology), I have dealt with many clients to whom security was one of the main areas of concern. As such, there’s always room for improvement but without a shed of a doubt, communications direction and stateful firewalls are some of the very first elements to consider. When it comes to logging and audit information, as a rule of thumb, it’s good to have a log aggregator stored outside of the scope of a cloud provider. A great log correlation out there is Splunk.
A fresh new look for Oh Dear
We're super proud to show the new us - we have a brand new logo, an entirely new style and a new website. In this post, we'll show you all the changes!
Episode 0: Introducing Request Metrics
Request Metrics is a web performance tool that records how fast your production Page and API endpoints are from your users’ perspective. We are doing something a bit different as we build Request Metrics: all our development sessions are recorded! Follow along as we work our way towards the Version 1 release. We’ll edit out the wrong turns and dead ends, saving you the time we lost along the way.
Episode 1: Creating a new .NET Core 3.1 Project
Development on Request Metrics begins! Before we can write any fun, (hopefully) money making code, we need to get some unexciting ground work out of the way. First on the list: making a new project in Visual Studio 2019.
Episode 2: Building our .NET Core 3.1 Project with TeamCity
The unexciting ground work for Request Metrics continues. We've got a basic ASP.NET Core project up and committed to Github. Now we need to build it! We have used TeamCity to build TrackJS for years. Since we don’t like change, we’re using it for Request Metrics too.
Episode 3: SSH Keys For Server Authentication
In the previous video, we created a build for our new project. Now we are configuring access to the development server using SSH keys. Follow along as we create a new SSH key pair using Git Bash. We'll use PuTTY and the new key to SSH to our Linux server from a Windows machine. Generating a new SSH key is not too difficult, but there are a few gotchas when using Windows. We are going through this exercise because Eric and Jordan develop on Windows. Todd watches in amusement as his MacOS machine "just works".
Episode 3.5: Basic Ansible With SSH Keys
Now that we have a SSH key, we can configure the server to host our ASP.NET Core application. We use Ansible for this because of its relative simplicity vs many of the other available tools. Some extra steps are needed however when running Ansible running in WSL.
On Hermes and Mattermost
With the upgrade to React Native 61 came the prospect of substantially improving performance of our Android app. How? Through the use of Hermes, Facebook’s new JavaScript engine. To say that we were excited is an understatement. And with that excitement came curiosity: How is this new JavaScript engine achieving performance boosts?
