25 Jun 2026 Backups Without the Enterprise Price Tag: Using OpenZFS with Neo4j Community Edition

The Backup Problem Nobody Talks About When teams evaluate Neo4j for their graph database needs, the Community Edition looks like an obvious starting point. It’s free, powerful, and more than capable of handling serious workloads. But somewhere between the initial setup and the first production deployment, a quiet realization sets in: native backup functionality in […]

25 May 2026 Building High Availability with NGINX: Active-Active and Active-Passive Architectures

High Availability Starts with Removing Single Points of Failure NGINX is often placed at the most important point in a web architecture. It receives traffic before it reaches applications, APIs, services, containers, or backend systems. It can act as a reverse proxy, load balancer, SSL termination layer, caching layer, and traffic control point. Because it […]

25 May 2026 The Hidden Complexity of NGINX: When DIY Configuration Costs More Than Support

The Gap Between Getting NGINX Running and Getting It Right There is a version of NGINX that most teams encounter first: the one that installs cleanly, serves a default page, and seems straightforward enough that configuring it for production feels like a natural next step. That version is real. NGINX is genuinely well-documented, widely adopted, […]

Why NGINX Performance Tuning Matters More Than Hardware Upgrades NGINX is trusted because it is fast, stable, lightweight, and highly flexible. It powers websites, APIs, reverse proxies, load balancers, application gateways, and high-traffic platforms across many industries. For many businesses, NGINX quietly sits at the front of critical digital services, handling traffic before it reaches […]

22 Jul 2026 Removing unused Hive jars from an Apache Spark image to address scanner-reported CVEs

Problem: A security scan of a deployed Apache Spark binary distribution reported two vulnerabilities located in Hive artifacts bundled with Spark: CVE-2024-29869 (org.apache.hive:hive-exec, fixed in Hive 4.0.1) and CVE-2024-23953 (org.apache.hive:hive-llap-common, fixed in Hive 4.0.1). The scan showed the vulnerable artifacts present in the shipped Spark distribution (the Spark 3.5.x line shipped a Hive 2.3.x fork […]

13 Jul 2026 PostgreSQL failover: primary saturation caused promotion and WAL loss prevented automatic rejoin

Problem: A high-traffic Patroni-managed PostgreSQL cluster experienced an automatic failover: the former primary (node A) lost leadership, and a secondary (node B) was successfully promoted. However, after the failover, node A failed to automatically rejoin the cluster as a replica. The symptoms unfolded in three stages. First, direct streaming replication was immediately rejected by the […]

22 Jun 2026 Automating DR site rebuild for a large Patroni PostgreSQL cluster

Problem: A customer running Patroni-managed PostgreSQL (PostgreSQL 15.17, Patroni v3.3) had production databases ranging from >2-3 TB up to a ~52 TB physical replica. Rebuilding the empty DR site from production relied on manual pg_basebackup executions and manual post-backup recovery steps, which was too slow, operationally intensive, and prone to human error for such large volumes. The […]

22 Jun 2026 PostgreSQL LWLock LockManager Contention caused by unpruned partition scans and high concurrency

Problem: An OLTP system using Patroni-managed PostgreSQL 15 experienced global slowdowns under load: CPU climbed to ~80%, large numbers of concurrent sessions, and application timeouts. The client reported bursts of traffic (hundreds of workers in parallel) routed through HAProxy to the leader, and provided PostgreSQL and Patroni logs, auto_explain output, and query samples. Key database […]

1 Jun 2026 Controlling heavy queries and resource usage on a Patroni PostgreSQL cluster

Problem: A production Patroni-managed PostgreSQL 15 cluster experienced periodic heavy queries that threatened availability. An example slow job ran for ~84 seconds and performed a full scan of a 1.8 TB partitioned table (arbor.CDR_DATA) that uses daily partitions starting in early April. Most clients connect through generic application users rather than distinct personal accounts. The […]

28 May 2026 Rebalancing uneven disk usage in a 5-node Apache Cassandra 2.2.5 cluster

Problem: A 5-node Apache Cassandra 2.2.5 cluster (two data centers) reported severe per-node disk imbalance: each node was configured with five data_file_directories (e.g. /cassandra/data1/data … /cassandra/data5/data) but some mount points on individual nodes were near full (examples showed mounts at 93% and 95% used). On one node a particular keyspace (jessi) had large sstable directories […]
