How to Migrate Your Configuration Database

Grafana by default uses sqlite3 as a local database to hold the configuration information (such as users, dashboards, alerts, etc.). But did you know you can also use other databases for this purpose? Many large customers prefer to use either Postgresql or MySQL/MariaDB, and we recently had a request from a company wanting some help to migrate their configuration data from Postgresql to MySQL. This is not a common request, so we didn’t have any pre-existing tooling to do it.

Fighting Packet Loss with Curl

One class of support requests I get at Healthchecks.io is about occasional failed HTTP requests to ping endpoints (hc-ping.com and hchk.io).

For this project, that meant getting instrumentation out of Lambda and into Honeycomb.

Multilingual Web Design - How Not to Get Lost in Translation

Most designers have learned, often the hard way, that language differences can wreak havoc on their web designs. Leaving aside the issue of languages that go right to left instead of left to right, or down rather than across, there’s the big issue of variable word lengths. How do you accommodate this variability when designing web pages? The translation services company I founded, Tomedes, supports more than 1,000 language pairs, so we have some experience to share.
