Difference between sh and bash

What is sh

sh (or the Shell Command Language) is a programming language described by the POSIX standard. It has many implementations (ksh88, dash, ...). bash can also be considered an implementation of sh (see below).

Because sh is a specification, not an implementation, /bin/sh is a symlink (or a hard link) to an actual implementation on most POSIX systems.

Mac OS-X does not come with the delightfully useful `timeout` program. Thankfully a rough BASH equivalent can be achieved with only 2 perl statements.

Upgrading Kubernetes Cluster with Kops, and Things to Watch Out For

Alright! I'd like to apologize for the inactivity for over a year. Very embarrassingly, I totally dropped the good habit. Anyways, today I'd like to share a not so advanced and much shorter walkthrough on how to upgrade Kubernetes with kops.

At Buffer, we host our own k8s (Kubernetes for short) cluster on AWS EC2 instances since we started our journey before AWS EKS. To do this effectively, we use kops. It's an amazing tool that manages pretty much all aspects of cluster management from creation, upgrade, updates and deletions. It never failed us.

How to start?

Okay, upgrading a cluster always makes people nervous, especially a production cluster. Trust me, I've been there! There is a saying, hope is not a strategy. So instead of hoping things will go smoothly, I always have bias that shit will hit the fan if you skip testing. Plus, good luck explaining to people

How to install PostgreSQL 9.6 in Ubuntu 16.04

Background

I believe Ubuntu 16.04 comes with PostgreSQL 9.5. Thats good for a start, but it is a matter of time before you have the need of a PostgreSQL 9.6 cluster. For me it was to import a PG backup from Heroku.

The procedure couldn't have been any easier and is described below. If you are interested in upgrading your old cluster to 9.6 afterwards, you may be interested in this.

Explain Mocha's testing framework - describe(), it() and before()/etc hooks
// # Mocha Guide to Testing
// Objective is to explain describe(), it(), and before()/etc hooks
// 1. `describe()` is merely for grouping, which you can nest as deep
// 2. `it()` is a test case
// 3. `before()`, `beforeEach()`, `after()`, `afterEach()` are hooks to run
// before/after first/each it() or describe().
//
// Which means, `before()` is run before first it()/describe()
