Contributing to Open Source projects makes any developer feel good and with a purpose. Seeing how your help is solving real-world issues is certainly a good feeling. In return, Free Software has given us ridiculously good tools but, above all, it has opened the gates to the world of open and universal knowledge. Although most […]

When we talk about storage we often think about hard drives, USB sticks and devices of the kind. All those solutions are okay for personal computers (and even for servers to store the basic Operating System data) but, when it comes to scaling, we need something better. The main problem of using volumes in HDD […]

Called just “Flow“, this is the long-awaited DevOps tool from Alibaba Cloud. Until now, this cloud provider didn’t have any CI/CD platform to help developers automate pipelines. Automating pipelines is a must nowadays for any software company, as makes deployments easier and more consistent, this reduces significantly human errors as completely removes manual steps of […]

Terms like “Cloud Computing“, “Cloud Server“, “Virtual Machine” or “Database” could be daunting for someone who is just starting. This is why I completely understand the people who are having a hard time deciding whether or not create a blog or e-commerce site. Even if you’re not an IT expert and have never created a cloud […]

Alibaba Cloud’s Elasticsearch Service has come a long way from when it was first introduced, and I believe it is ready for most production workloads. It wipes out most of the pain of operating Elasticsearch all by yourself, and letting you to focus on your application or business. Note that, if you’ve never set up […]

As you know, I’ve been talking and developing production-ready solutions in a Serverless fashion since 2018, which sounds “forever” in this IT world. In the beginning, I used the amazing tool called fun developed by Alibaba to deploy them, and this made my life easier since then. Apparently, Alibaba deprecated fun in favour of another tool called […]

Turns out my cycling style when on an MTB is quite intense on the rear brakes, so much that after only 130 km of using my new bike, the rear discs were already showing signs of overheating while the front ones were still shiny and with the original silver color.     Why only resize […]

A finales de los años 50 del siglo XX, la entonces denominada “Diputación Provincial de Gipuzkoa” construyó un “Parador de Turismo” en el monte Jaizkibel, en terrenos cedidos por el Ayuntamiento de Hondarribia, según Proyecto del arquitecto provincial José María Muñoz Baroja, de 1958. Todo era parte de un esfuerzo para incentivar la recuperación económica en […]

Dados los pocos lugares donde se puede estudiar el idioma tailandés desde un punto de vista hispanohablante, he decidido crear mi propio material para aprender este idioma desde España. No pretendo que sea perfecto, pero a mí me sirve, ya que aglutino en un sólo sitio información que, de otra manera, tendría que consultar en varias […]

Hopefully this is useful for more people like me who had an old Bkool Classic in a corner as they couldn’t use it. Last week I purchased a Bkool trainer through Wallapop (Spanish second hand app) and it didn’t get recognised by anything like Zwift or other simulators (even the BKOOL software itself). In the beginning […]

When creating a multi-deployment platform in Kubernetes, you will quickly realise how many LoadBalancer-type Services you deployed. This is usually not a problem with a self-built, self-hosted Cluster, as you manage how things gets created. The problem appears when you use managed Kubernetes solutions like Alibaba Cloud ACK, as it will create an SLB (Server […]

Thanks to being an MVP Diamond I became one of the first to test this VDI product called EDS back in February. I was such an early adopter that at the beginning I couldn’t even write a post about this, as I first needed to help Alibaba Cloud’s EDS Product Developer to test several points of […]

As part of being an Alibaba Cloud MVP, I get to test from time to time new products from this cloud provider for free, which is a really nice thing to have. This greatly helps me with my business, Guztia Consulting, as we specialise in Accelerating Sites in China. In this occasion, thanks to some […]

Tras un intenso y profundo viaje por toda la geografía de Tailandia, acabo de crear una cuenta de Instagram para contar, desde el punto de vista de un local y en español, cómo se vive en Tailandia:   Desde Tailandia
