System Architecture

Research libraries preserve classic texts, films and recordings, but when it comes to video games, it gets complicated.

Startup Sync Computing has devised a hardware answer to the problem that NetApp’s Spot solves with software: how to optimise large-scale public cloud compute and storage use. It’s operating in near stealth, and what we describe here is not based on company announcements. Instead it relies on an article by one of its funders: The […]

The following is a distilled review of the core engineering phases of enterprise solution architecture

This article intends to shine a light at the development of a new desktop environment for the Pop!_OS operating system.

There are some misconception about the difference between an NXDOMAIN and a NODATA response. This post explains the difference.

The docker layer in a dockerfile is the intermediate images that get created when an image is built. Read this blog to get complete details.

Unification of filesystems is the concept of mounting several filesystems on a single mount point, with the resulting mount showing the logical combination of all the filesystems. Traditionally, when a filesystem is mounted on a directory, the existing contents of the directory are masked, and the content of the latest mounted filesystem is shown. These masked files are available only after the mounted filesystem is unmounted. Even though these files exist, they are inaccessible to the user. Union mount overcomes this by providing access to all directories and files present in the directory, even after a mount.

Ever wonder how Docker images work? Well it's called a Union File System and it's not as hard as it sounds!

While running a Docker container recently I wanted to view the contents of each layer that made up the image.

I started this posts wanting to demystify docker caching, one of the important aspects of using Docker in an efficient and scalable manner…

In traditional build tools like Make, targets and dependencies are always files. Imagine if you could specify an entire tree (directory) as a dependency: You could exhaustively specify a "build root" filesystem containing the toolchain used for building some target as a dependency of that target. Similarly, a rule that creates that build root would have the tree as its target. Using Merkle trees as first-class citizens in a build system gives great flexibility and many optimization opportunities. In this article, guest author David Röthlisberger explores this idea using OSTree, Ninja, and Python.

What drew me to Ondat? The idea that stateful workloads could realize the benefits containers and Kubernetes brought stateless applications.

The 12-Factor App methodology provides guidelines for building apps in a short time frame and for making them scalable. It was created by the developers at Heroku for use with Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) apps, web apps, and potentially Communication-Platform-as-a-Service (CPaaS) apps. For organizing projects effectively and managing scalable applications, the 12-Factor App methodology has powerful advantages for open source development.

Recently there came up a lot articles about the “new iteration” of the web and Web 3.0. Since the idea of decentralized and blockchain…
