When you’re running a relatively small cluster, you might get away with having no structure in place for it. But with time, your cluster will inevitably scale to dozens of pods and hundreds of containers. If you keep running them carefree, you’ll deal with a mess sooner rather than later. Here’s your golden ticket to get out of this chaos: Kubernetes namespace.

By keeping your cluster organized with namespaces, labels, and annotations, you’ll avoid the performance, maintenance, and security issues that come together in a package with the lack of control over the deployed objects and services.

When it comes to developing an application, choosing the right framework is essential. React and Next.js are two of the most popular frameworks of 2023 used to build applications.

Both provide developers with different approaches to development, allowing them to create applications tailored to their needs.

Today, I’ll share a few thoughts on what makes a good project plan. And I’ll provide a sample project plan.

Why Have Project Plans

Many agile teams focus on sprints or chunks of work. But they don’t really plan — instead, they do what they can each sprint, plot out their velocity, and determine what they can accomplish over the next sprints. 

Today, "virtualization" is a very common term in the software deployment and IT worlds. Most companies are leveraging this technology not only to deploy their applications, but the virtualized images are also being used by the IT department to provide a new system to a new employee in the organization.

Virtualization had made IT infrastructure provisioning very fast, quickly reproducible, and reliable. It has also made debugging, troubleshooting, and the availability of operational infrastructure much better.

I'm passionate about my job and I document all of my CockroachDB shenanigans. You can find them in my profile.

Motivation

The previous article left a lot to be desired and I've been meaning to get back to it. Today, we're going to improve on the original article by demonstrating what can be done to improve the performance of pgbench with CockroachDB. Typically, when customers begin their CockroachDB journey, they are faced with a learning curve having no prior knowledge of CockroachDB and many times, the biggest hurdle is isolation. CockroachDB operates in SERIALIZABLE isolation by default, full stop! There are no plans to change the status quo. Instead of weakening isolation, we advise our customers to practice defensible programming and change their application to work around the errors and retries. We're going to treat pgbench like a legacy application and demonstrate the problems and how we can work around them and modernize them for CockroachDB.
