We’ve been doing some Ruby on Rails development lately, in preparation for PagerTree 4, and we wanted to put together a Ruby on Rails Cheat sheet. This is a quick reference guide to common ruby on rails commands and usage.
Today we will install Ruby on Rails (RoR) on a Debian Linux operating system (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS). With that said, RoR is compatible with other operating systems with just a few tweaks. This blog will assist you in installing RoR with a simple step-by-step process. Your installation may differ, for other operating systems refer to this site.
Recently, while working with a customer, I saw a really cool use of PagerTree’s Stakeholder Notifications to send messages into a Slack channel. They did this by using the Slack’s Email to Slack integration along with PagerTree’s Stakeholder notifications. Today I’d like to share with you how they did it.
Today, we are excited to announce PagerTree has added 3 new chatbot services including Mattermost, Microsoft Teams and Google Hangouts Chat (this is in addition to our core Slack notification channel).
Chatbots are available on all pricing tiers free of charge! 😄 If you don’t already have an account, sign up for a free-trial now.
How available is your website, service, or platform? What must you monitor and measure to ensure availability? How do you translate uptime into availability? This chart has numbers that every Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) should know. Below the chart, you will find answers to commonly asked questions about SRE and associated metrics.
| Uptime | Downtime (Per Year) |
|---|---|
| 99% | 3 Days : 15 Hours : 39 Minutes |
| 99.9% | 8 Hour : 45 Minutes : 56 Seconds |
| 99.99% | 52 Minutes : 35 Seconds |
| 99.999% | 5 Minutes : 15 Seconds |
| 99.9999% | 31 Seconds |
| 99.99999% | 3 Seconds |
Over the past decade, multiple scientific studies have confirmed what we in DevOps have known for ages: Being on-call is a pain! But just how bad is it?
In Part 2: Serverless Scales I briefly touched on how a serverless architecture can have a cost benefit. In this post, I will go over
In Part 1: What is Serverless? I talked about how one of the biggest pros to a serverless architecture is how well it scales and how high availability is baked in.
In this post I’ll go over:
Throughout this series we have been exploring how to use serverless architectures to our advantage. In this article I will show you:
In this post we’ll answer the following questions:
