Linux file system explained.
The Linux file system used to resemble an unorganized town where individuals constructed their houses wherever they pleased. However, in 1994, the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) was introduced to bring order to the Linux file system.
By implementing a standard like the FHS, software can ensure a consistent layout across various Linux distributions. Nonetheless, not all Linux distributions strictly adhere to this standard. They often incorporate their own unique elements or cater to specific requirements.
To become proficient in this standard, you can begin by exploring. Utilize commands such as "cd" for navigation and "ls" for listing directory contents. Imagine the file system as a tree, starting from the root (/). With time, it will become second nature to you, transforming you into a skilled Linux administrator.
Have fun exploring!

Docker vs. containerd vs. Podman 🧵
Containers are everywhere, and Docker is the most popular (and user-friendly) way of running them. But it's definitely not the only way!
I prepared a series of exercises to help you explore the alternative single-host runtimes 👇
What does API gateway do?
The diagram below shows the detail.
Step 1 - The client sends an HTTP request to the API gateway.
Step 2 - The API gateway parses and validates the attributes in the HTTP request.
Step 3 - The API gateway performs allow-list/deny-list checks.
Step 4 - The API gateway talks to an identity provider for authentication and authorization.
Step 5 - The rate limiting rules are applied to the request. If it is over the limit, the request is rejected.
Steps 6 and 7 - Now that the request has passed basic checks, the API gateway finds the relevant service to route to by path matching.
Step 8 - The API gateway transforms the request into the appropriate protocol and sends it to backend microservices.
Steps 9-12: The API gateway can handle errors properly, and deals with faults if the error takes a longer time to recover (circuit break). It can also leverage ELK (Elastic-Logstash-Kibana) stack for logging and monitoring. We sometimes cache data in the API gateway.
Over to you:
1) What’s the difference between a load balancer and an API gateway?
2) Do we need to use different API gateways for PC, mobile and browser separately?
