Going through the thought process of defining a configuration loading framework for modern cloud-native apps
Introduction
Loading configuration into your application is often the first thing an application does when it starts. Hardcoded values, a configuration file, environment variables, or flags — these are all different sources you might use.
Compose & Configure Elastic Stack (ELK) on Docker for smaller-scale Production deployments and Development
What is Elastic Stack?
Elastic Stack (aka ELK) is the current go-to stack for centralized structured logging for your organization. It collects, ingests, and stores your services’ logs (also metrics) while making them searchable & aggregatable & observable. And later on, build alerts and dashboards based on these data.
Running Elastic Stack
In this post, we’ll compose, configure, secure, and deploy Elastic Stack using Docker & Docker-Compose. What we’ll build can be used for development and a small scale production deployment on a docker host.
- Building an Image for each component.
- Parameterizing configuration & avoid hardcoding credentials.
- Setting up Elasticsearch as a production single node cluster ready…
