-
Image
 Amazon Relational Database Service (AWS RDS) makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. Instead of managing servers, patching OS, and handling backups manually, AWS RDS takes care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on building applications and data pipelines. In this blog, we’ll walk through how to create an AWS RDS instance , key configuration choices, and best practices you should follow in real-world projects. What is AWS RDS? AWS RDS is a managed database service that supports popular relational engines such as: Amazon Aurora (MySQL / PostgreSQL compatible) MySQL PostgreSQL MariaDB Oracle SQL Server With RDS, AWS manages: Database provisioning Automated backups Software patching High availability (Multi-AZ) Monitoring and scaling Prerequisites Before creating an RDS instance, make sure you have: An active AWS account Proper IAM permissions (RDS, EC2, VPC) A basic understanding of: ...

The Real Use of Git in DevOps Environment

-
Why you need Git? Here's well explained with differences among Git, GitFlow and GitHub.

Git is a tool


Git in devops



It is created by Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux system. The tool was created to help Linux developers control the development flow among many developers around the world. It helps to solve conflicts, track the modifications, or even revert the configurations that were working before and stopped working in a new version.


To install Git, you can access the following link: https://git-scm.com/download/win


The installation process is the same as we did for all Windows applications; it is just Next, Next, and Finish.

After the installation, you will find a new program called Git Bash, which allows you to create your local repos and use the Git commands to create versions of your application.


GitFlow


Now, when we start working on a project, we have the code files that are already in production, and we cannot work in the main branch, because of the CI/CD pipelines. We need to generate a new version of our software with the complete code.

Let's commit the first version of the code, which will be shared among all the developers working on the same project: PS

C:\Users\1511 MXTI\Chapter09> git add --all PS C:\Users\1511 MXTI\Chapter09> git commit -m "uploading the scaffold of the project" [master (root-commit) f6284bf] uploading the scaffold of the project 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) create mode 100644 code.txt


If we run the git status again, nothing is untraced or pending to commit: PS C:\Users\1511 MXTI\Chapter09> git status On branch master nothing to commit, working tree clean


To check the branches you have, run the following command: PS C:\Users\1511 MXTI\Chapter09> git branch * master.

GitHub


The commands ran in the local machine and in a local environment. It was just the basic steps, but I am pretty sure that with these commands you will be able to do 80% of your work every day. If you cannot, there are many tools to help you with the Git commands, like git Kraken, or you can even use plugins for Visual Studio Code.

We need to have in mind that as bigger as your team is, you will have more conflicts and more changes happening at the same time.

To share our code, we can use many tools, like GitLab, GitHub, Bitbucket. There are dozens of services to help you with it. Let's use GitHub because it is the most famous. But, for some of my personal projects, I use Bitbucket, because we can have unlimited private repos.


You can create your own GitHub account for free on their website:

Step-by-Step Guide to Reading Different Files in Python

 In the world of data science, automation, and general programming, working with files is unavoidable. Whether you’re dealing with CSV reports, JSON APIs, Excel sheets, or text logs, Python provides rich and easy-to-use libraries for reading different file formats. In this guide, we’ll explore how to read different files in Python , with code examples and best practices. 1. Reading Text Files ( .txt ) Text files are the simplest form of files. Python’s built-in open() function handles them effortlessly. Example: # Open and read a text file with open ( "sample.txt" , "r" ) as file: content = file.read() print (content) Explanation: "r" mode means read . with open() automatically closes the file when done. Best Practice: Always use with to handle files to avoid memory leaks. 2. Reading CSV Files ( .csv ) CSV files are widely used for storing tabular data. Python has a built-in csv module and a powerful pandas library. Using cs...

SQL Query: 3 Methods for Calculating Cumulative SUM

-
Image
SQL provides various constructs for calculating cumulative sums, offering flexibility and efficiency in data analysis. In this article, we explore three distinct SQL queries that facilitate the computation of cumulative sums. Each query leverages different SQL constructs to achieve the desired outcome, catering to diverse analytical needs and preferences. Using Window Functions (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle) SELECT id, value, SUM(value) OVER (ORDER BY id) AS cumulative_sum  FROM your_table; This query uses the SUM() window function with the OVER clause to calculate the cumulative sum of the value column ordered by the id column. Using Subqueries (e.g., MySQL, SQLite): SELECT t1.id, t1.value, SUM(t2.value) AS cumulative_sum FROM your_table t1 JOIN your_table t2 ON t1.id >= t2.id GROUP BY t1.id, t1.value ORDER BY t1.id; This query uses a self-join to calculate the cumulative sum. It joins the table with itself, matching rows where the id in the first table is greater than...
