• VILT Stack Deployment

  Deploying a full stack web application built with Laravel, Inertia.js, Vue 3, Laravel Reverb, and Tailwind CSS on an Ubuntu server ensures a robust and scalable production environment. The process typically involves setting up a secure LEMP stack (Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP), where Laravel forms the backend powered by PHP. The application is deployed through Git or SSH, followed by running composer for dependency management and setting up the .env configuration file for database and environment settings. Inertia.js and Vue 3 manage the frontend with reactive and dynamic components, compiled using Laravel Mix or Vite. Tailwind CSS handles the design, ensuring responsive, utility-first layouts, while Laravel Reverb enables real-time functionalities like notifications and updates.

• K6 Load Testing on Microservices

  Load testing NestJS microservices using MySQL and RabbitMQ with Grafana K6 provides valuable insights into the performance, scalability, and reliability of your system under stress. NestJS, a highly modular Node.js framework, efficiently handles microservices with event-driven architectures, where RabbitMQ serves as the message broker for asynchronous task queues and inter-service communication, and MySQL manages relational data storage. Using Grafana K6, a powerful load testing tool, you can simulate real-world traffic, stress-test the microservices, and measure their performance under varying load conditions. By sending concurrent requests to your API endpoints and monitoring message throughput in RabbitMQ, K6 generates detailed performance metrics such as response times, failure rates, and latency.

• Complete CI/CD Setup for a Laravel Application Using Docker and GitLab

  In this guide, we'll walk through setting up a CI/CD pipeline for a Laravel application using Docker Compose and GitLab CI/CD. This setup ensures that your Laravel app is tested, built, and deployed automatically, making the development and deployment process smoother and more efficient. It will cover setting up Laravel application with Docker Compose, writing GitLab CI/CD pipeline, running unit tests using Pest, code quality checks using PHP CodeSniffer and deployment to ubuntu server.

• Application Monitoring Using Prometheus and Grafana

  Monitoring is an essential aspect of any production application. It helps you track the health, performance, and reliability of your application in real-time. In this article, we will walk through how to set up monitoring for a Laravel application using Prometheus and Garafana. With this setup, you will be able to monitor both your server metrics (like CPU, memory usage, etc.) and your application’s HTTP endpoints, visualize the data using Grafana dashboards, and set up alerting for issues like downtime or resource exhaustion.
