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 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.

Monitor Apache Airflow with Datadog

Apache Airflow is an open source system for programmatically creating, scheduling, and monitoring complex workflows including data processing pipelines. Originally developed by Airbnb in 2014, Airflow is now a part of the Apache Software Foundation and has an active community of contributing developers. Airflow represents workflows as Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs), which are made up of tasks written in Python. This allows Airflow users to programmatically build and modify their workflows.

The covering for each other builds trust among the team which is invaluable when you’re in the trenches daily, working hard.
