OK. OK it is running race for nurturing body. 5Km. DB Stack is for what ? Do you want to replicate MySQL/MariaDB/PostGreSQL ?

Essentially a zero-downtime migration from 1 DB cluster to another. Won't go into specifics as it's all internal stuff but was made way more complicated due to various internal constraints.

  1. Read a novel "The midnight library"
    here's the quote that I liked

    It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see - Thoreau

  2. started cleaning up the inbox of one of my Gmail accounts.

    • I looked at the number 27k, it stressed me out. I'm down to 7k now. and aiming to clean up further by next few weeks.
  3. installed the brave browser to fight the YouTube addiction.

  4. spend some time on online courses.

  5. fixed couple of bugs on one of my personal project.

things I learnt this week (bash on it!):

  • database
    • column orders matters when creating indexing.
    • create a view if joins are being used a lot to improve the performance.
  • dotnet core
    • use user secrets with combination of env variable and digital lockers to secure connection string.
    • take extreme care of nullable and use null-forgiving (= null!) only when you're sure the value ought to be initialized later. (and there are other checks in place, like database constraints)
    • use query tags, parameter and PII loggings on local/dev for debugging.
    • use AsNoChangeTracking() for queries that are not going to be modified.
    • use non-blocking fetch for collecting data in a asynchronous stream when downloading big chunk of data.
