#operations

Problems I ran into, what I tried, and what I learned along the way. Some are finished stories, some are notes I'm still adding to.

  1. Why I write runbooks and playbooks A runbook tells you how to do a known task. A playbook tells you how to think when you don't know what's wrong yet. I needed both. #operations#incident#datadog#postgresql
  2. VACUUM in PostgreSQL If PostgreSQL never overwrites a row, where do all the old versions go? And why didn't my table shrink after I deleted most of it? #postgresql#databases#operations
