Learn the Importance of Namespace, Quota & Limits

Let’s start with a scenario, whenever any application builds, we generally do have 3 environments on the basis of resources – dev for developers resources, test for testers resources, and prod for production resources. Likewise, we used to have a separate IT-Operational Team having strategies to maintain their environment resources. It was very time-consuming and many human resources were required.

We are in the microservices era where we follow the DevOps Methodology. The DevOps Team brings all the environment and strategies to maintain resources in one go. Resources are the ones who decide the behavior of your applications. We can apply the criteria to resources, so how can our application behave? To do this we can give the name to our resources, we can give the resources quota to the application, and can give resource ranges to the application.

Alerting Through Azure Logic Apps

As we know alerting is the most crucial part of any infrastructure, and it becomes even more challenging when our infrastructure grows since we cannot monitor everything every time. Every client wants to get notified by their own alerting system before their customer reaches out to them and informs “Hey this service is not working or I am not able to access XYZ service“.

Alerting helps to ensure that the system remains healthy, responsive, and secure. It’s an important part of any system that makes performance, availability, and efficiency high. An operator might need to be notified of the event that triggers the alert.

We can set up alerts in many ways, but in this blog, I will be focussing on setting up alerting through azure logic apps.

Azure provides multiple options to send an alert to the end user, maybe through email, Slack, Pagerduty, SMS, etc. In this blog, I will be explaining the way to send an alert through email, Slack, and Pagerduty.

Praeco Alerting for ElasticSearch (Part -1)

Praeco is an open-source tool for alerting Elasticsearch. It can build the alert for elasticsearch in an interactive query builder. A preview of the result will be shown in charts. This tool has an easy installation & configuration process which we will learn further in this blog. We can receive alerts on commonly used channels like slack, email, and many more.

This will have two parts- first, we install & configure the Praeco; in the second part, we learn – how to create an alert?

Why do we use this over others?

In terms of open-source tools which are used for alerting in elasticsearch the most popular option is elastalert. In this creating an alert is a very hectic process because one has to write YAML which can be sometimes frustrating for those who don’t know the syntax.

Now we have to search for other options, which leads us to Praeco. This provides an interactive GUI to create the alert condition and hassle-free integration with alert channels.

Google Python API: The easy way

When life gives you APIs, just automate it. 🙂

As a developer or tech geek, when technology is part of your lifestyle or work, we definitely look forward to exploring all developer things. APIs & libraries are one of the important things we generally look for.

Why is it so? Because, when we use that specific technology on a daily basis, we definitely want to automate most of the things. For that, we try to explore its functional part just to make our work easy. We can use that functional part [ API/Library ], to make an automation script or application.
