Several people have already blogged about the significance of random_page_cost in Postgres and how it can be a game-changer for your setup and deployments that fetch data from Postgres. Especially if you run Postgres on some cloud, such as AWS, and it happens to run on relatively modern infrastructure - please read the …

I have been a user of the versions maven plugin for many years but I think I never actually used it to its full potential. Latetly I wanted to control the way updates were resolved when I was invoking 1mvn versions:display-dependency-updates I wanted to get rid of snapshos and all sorts of different naming convensions …

I just lost 1 hour searching, so I am just blogging to raise awareness and provide an extra link to the existing documentation of Micronaut, which I managed to miss, just before my eyes.

So one day (or night) you make the call, that's it, I need to clean up. This is how I felt about my personal gitlab account. I won't deny …

This was one of the features that I was waiting for months. Google Cloud Run is really easy to use, and I consider it production worthy, especially for small projects! Up until now, the scheduled container if it was not accepting any request, it was being suspended (similar to what happens to λ on aws, for those that …
