Tech Trek: A Software Engineer's Guide to Code and Beyond

In this blog, I’ll show you how can we install ELK on our windows 10 machine - that is ElasticSearch, Logstash, and Kibana. These three different products are most commonly used together for log analysis. Using ELK stack, we can achieve centralized logging which helps in identifying the problems.  ELK is heavily used in microservices architecture where your docker images are running on 1000's of POD and you can't go to each pod to trace the logs. Logstash: It is the data collection pipeline tool. It is the first component of ELK Stack which collects data inputs and feeds it to the Elasticsearch. It collects various types of data from different sources, all at once and makes it available immediately for further use. Elasticsearch: It is a NoSQL database which is based on Lucene search engine and is built with RESTful APIs. It is a highly flexible and distributed search and analytics engine. Also, it provides simple deployment, maximum reliability, and easy managemen...

In this blog, I am going to share my knowledge on the creation of a docker image and how can we run in a Docker Engine. Prerequisite Basic Knowledge of Docker Docker must be running on your machine. Good to aware of Spring boot application. I already have one spring boot application in my IntelliJ which expose one endpoint /users/{id}. We will see how can we push and run this application in a docker container.  We need to create one file named Dockerfile to add docker instruction (Check above image). Now go to Terminal and check whether the docker is running or not on your machine. Run docker build to create an image and push it to the container using the command. docker build -f Dockerfile -t docker-spring-ehcache . The above command will execute all the operations that we have mentioned in our Dockerfile like pulling OpenJDK 8 from the docker hub if not exist. Let's see if our image got pushed to docker containers or not by listing all d...

In my previous blog , we have already seen how to setup SonarQube server on Windows 10. We have also seen that how can we generate sonar report using sonar-scanner . In this blog, I’ll show you how to generate sonar report by configuring sonar dependency to maven project.  Steps to setup sonar in Maven We have to configure pluginManagement and Profile for Sonar in pom.xml file Add below pluginManagement dependency to your pom.xml  <pluginManagement> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.8.1</version> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.sonarsource.scanner.maven</groupId> ...
