Before upgrading your server, check what's actually slowing it down.

🔍 Check RAM and swapping
💾 Investigate disk I/O
🐌 Find slow database queries
🔌 Check connection pools and network latency

Low CPU usage doesn't mean your app is healthy. Sometimes, the real bottleneck is hiding in plain sight.

Your server doesn't always crash when it runs out of RAM. Sometimes, it just gets slower… until Linux starts killing processes. 💀

Here's how to spot memory pressure before it takes down your app:

🖥️ free -h — Check available RAM and swap
⚡ vmstat 1 — Spot swapping and memory pressure
🔍 Check kernel logs for OOM killer events

Pro tip: Used RAM isn't the whole story. Check available memory, too.

Save this for your next production incident. 🚀

🚀 GitHub just released Stacked PRs!

Ever had one developer wait for another developer's PR to merge before they can keep coding? 😵‍💫

Stacked PRs let you build on top of another pull request, so your team can work on dependent changes without blocking each other.

You probably don't need Kubernetes.

If you have:

→ 3 services

→ 1 database

→ 2 developers

→ predictable traffic

Kubernetes might be adding more complexity than value.

Start simple. Scale when the problem actually demands it.

We broke down exactly when to use Kubernetes — and when to avoid it 👇
