Most people try to learn 50 Azure services at once. Instead learn Azure in layers: Foundations → Core Services → Security → Observability → Production.

Two developers wrote different queries: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users WHERE email = 'abc@gmail.com'; vs SELECT 1 FROM users WHERE email = 'abc@gmail.com' LIMIT 1; Both are used to check if the user exists. Which one is better and why?

@Shefali__J Ignoring myself fully at the moment, hopefully after a month or so I can get back

Just a reminder✨ Working hard ≠ ignoring your body.
 Small posture breaks prevent big problems.

@devops_nk ahhahahahahahah

Friday afternoon and the manager starts looking for you.

@dashmundkar Right tool for the right job !!

We recently solved a full-text search problem using Elasticsearch — and it made a huge difference. Here’s what we learned 👇 The problem: Our application relied on database queries for search. Issues we faced: • Slow response times • Poor relevance in results • No fuzzy search support • Difficult to scale Users were frustrated. The solution: Elasticsearch We introduced Elasticsearch as a dedicated search layer. What changed: • Lightning-fast search responses ⚡ • Built-in full-text capabilities • Fuzzy search (typo tolerance) • Better ranking and relevance • Scalable horizontally How we designed it: • Indexed key application data into Elasticsearch • Used analyzers for better text processing • Synced data from DB → Elasticsearch • Built search APIs on top of ES Key learning: Databases are great for transactions. Elasticsearch is built for search. Don’t try to force one tool to do everything. Result: Search went from slow & inaccurate → fast & relevant Users noticed the difference immediately. If you’re building anything with search… Use the right tool. #Elasticsearch #DevOps #Architecture #Search

@clovistb Not the tool but at least the CI process should be made mandatory for all devs

Recruiters always ask DevOps engineers to master at least one database but why don’t they ask database engineers to master at least one CI/CD tool?

@k_k_kaundal Good one !!

@_jaydeepkarale Why Indexing Can Hurt Write Performance x.com/k_k_kaundal/st…

Interviewer: If search engines like Elasticsearch index data for fast queries, why can indexing sometimes slow down write-heavy systems?

@Gavel_on_X What is a person has no hand or feet to draw the sample on the left?

Your honest opinion: are designers screwed?

@uday_devops Vercel

Where do you deploy your projects? - Vercel - Netlify - Railway - AWS

@anurag_gharat 😭😭😭😭😭 design is dead

Prompt: Design an Avatar picker in Neu Brutalism style What Google Stitch made vs What I made.
