Without a CDN, you are putting stress on the origin server every time a user requests something.
Ever since the work from home (WFH) and study from home (SFH) initiatives became widespread due to the outbreak of COVID-19, there has been a huge effort among organizations to either set up new broadband connections or upgrade existing connections with higher bandwidth speeds.

At this point, you may be wondering if it’s time to build your own monitoring solution with open source tools at its core that everyone can use.
We will always remember April 2020 as the month that a DDoS attack took the world’s most expensive bottle of whiskey offline. We barely knew ye. Dateline: April 2020, the world’s most expensive whiskey auction is taken offline by DDoS. But other notable outages taught us a lot about which threats dominate our landscape.

In today’s post, we’ll learn about Mnesia, see when you would use such a tool, and take a look at some of the pros and cons of using it. After covering the fundamentals of Mnesia, we’ll dive right into a sample application where we’ll build an Elixir application that uses Mnesia as its database. Let’s jump right in!
