Episode 0: Introducing Request Metrics

Feb 25, 2020 By Request Metrics In 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

Feb 25, 2020 By Request Metrics In Request Metrics

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

Feb 25, 2020 By Request Metrics In Request Metrics

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

Feb 25, 2020 By Request Metrics In Request Metrics

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

Feb 25, 2020 By Request Metrics In Request Metrics

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.

What are racks and which one should you buy?

Feb 25, 2020 By Laura Cano In Pandora FMS

A rack is a structure, usually made out of metal and cabinet or wall-shaped, which allows to store and organize the different components of computer installations, such as servers, storage systems, switches, etc. Is that it? Are you disappointed? Well, hold on, although they don’t seem like much, the world of racks can actually be quite tricky.

10 lessons from the AWS hackathon

Feb 25, 2020 By Danielle Heberling In Stackery

This weekend I had the opportunity to participate in the AWS Hackathon in Portland. Based on the hackathons hosted at re:Invent, this brought together about 100 developers of all skill levels to break up into small teams and produce a demo product in 10 hours. I had a great time, and wanted to share what I learned! There may be organization-specific roadblocks to adopting AWS Lambda right now and therefore, it might not be the right fit for your team at this particular juncture.
