Prometheus is confusing. It’s such a great project and there is all kinds of information out there, but it’s taken me a bit of legwork to understand it. The first issue is: How are you going to install it? Since I’m running this on Kubernetes it makes sense to use whatever most people are doing….
Note: Video for this Blog Post is Here. When dealing with cloud resources the two opposing needs are security and accessibility. When we often deploy resources in a private network inside of an AWS VPC that are not accessible directly from the outside. To access these resources, we can use a bastion server or VPN….
Lens is a really cool front end dashboard for Kubernetes clusters. One issue I ran into from connecting to the cluster was that I typically use different AWS Profiles for different clusters. Typically I’ll do something like: To set my user. To put this in Lens so that it can connect, we just add this…
I have an application that runs in a container. The application is pretty simple in that all it does is list the contents of a DynamoDB database I created. The code is here, as well as all the YAML files for deploying to EKS. The problem is, when we pull this up on a standard…
These last few weeks I’ve been diving into Apple’s RealityKit for iPhone. I’ve chosen to use SwiftUI instead of UIKit as I like the similarities between it and ReactJS.

Suppose you have an array of objects in javascript: In the above contrived example 2 of the 3 objects have the same id value of a. We’d like to filter this array so that the result is: Javascript doesn’t have a built in unique function like other languages do. But we can use the filter…
I spent a good portion of the work day today trying to code up a simple form to accept a list of zip codes and put them in an array. The final form looks as follows: As you can see there are a few zip codes and then we can click the ‘Add Zip Code’…
Previously I had installed wordpress pods on Kubernetes and it made it very easy to administer and add multiple sites for clients. However, as time went on they started getting more aggressive in the different themes they were uploading. To solve the problem required configuration changes in two places. The Ingress Controller The PHP file…
ngrok is a great service that redirects public internet traffic to a service running on a private network, such as your laptop at your house. Lately, as I’ve been doing a lot of development with oauth2 sign ins on webforms, I’ve had to use ngrok to test. The free plan allows about 24 hours of…
