Getting Started Hello everyone, in this blog I will help you bootstrap your arch linux setup in 5-10 minutes, and teach you where you can look into when you need help. Arch Linux has been one of the most difficult distros to setup until the new convenient archinstall script. I will be using archinstall script in this guide. It is known with its non-exhaustive user friendly TUI installation phase. First of all, ensure you install the ISO from Download Page, Arch is used within the whole world so don’t be scared of picking the closest mirror to yourself. All the mirrors have SSL/TLS enabled, the contents are the same you don’t need to worry about it. Also archlinux-x86_64.iso and archlinux-YYYY.MM.DD-x86_64.iso correspond to the same ISO, there is no difference. ...

The Intro In this guide, I will be showing how to set up a simple Kubernetes(K3S) cluster which will have 1 master node and 2 worker nodes on Hetzner Cloud. My main goal is to make newcomers’ transition to Kubernetes very smooth as a person who suffered enough with complex tutorials/bills and didn’t get enough chance to poke a Kubernetes cluster. This tutorial should be applicable to any cloud provider but be warned pricing would be extremely different. If you come to learn Kubernetes, this could be your starting point to set up your own cluster and get started poking around with an actual production-ready cluster with k3s. ...

The Intro Hi everyone, this is the 2nd part of the series, we will be developing our API in this part. I will assume you have already followed the previous part and setup faasd and CockroachDB in your cloud server instance and have faas-cli in your both client computer and cloud server instance. I will also assume you have Go on your computer and a proper text editor. Let’s quickly get started. ...

The Series Intro Hi everyone, in this series we will be creating serverless highscore REST API in Go and utilize the most advanced and bleeding-edge open-source technologies such as Faasd(OpenFaaS engine) and CockroachDB(our cluster database). Keep in mind that we will actually need a server to do serverless computing :) (Plot Twist) In this 1st part, we will be setting up the infrastructure side for Hetzner Cloud with Terraform then in the 2nd part we will develop/deploy our functions with help of faas-cli. Faasd is developed by OpenFaaS to make self-hosted serverless functions much easier to develop/deploy without any vendor lock-in giant cloud company or K8s requirement. We will also be using CockroachDB as a single node database for our cloud server instance. There are some requirements but keep in mind that Terraform and Hetzner Cloud are not mandatory requirements. ...

The Intro Hello everyone, in this post I will be demonstrating how you can run localstack with Terraform and Docker and give you a proof of concept go application so you can tweak it according to your logic and follow anything you want to do such as integration/system tests for AWS services in your own CI/CD or localhost. Github Repository for PoC(proof of concept): hotdog-PoC-repository Requirements: Docker docker-compose Terraform Go aws CLI A bit of lambda, dynamodb and kinesis knowledge Localstack is a testing/mocking framework for developing Cloud applications locally. Where in theory, you can stick any AWS service and emulate them in localhost without ever needing the real AWS account. Localstack’s primary goal to make integration/system testing less painful for developers. ...
