If you’ve ever wondered what Angular does with your component code and what actually ends up in the browser, this article is for you!First, if you want to look at the resulting code after the compiler does its work, you can run ng serve, then open dist/project-name/browser/main-xxxxx.js, where xxxxx is a unique hash generated by the compiler, such as main-5ABRQQ7A.js.This hash is present for cache-busting purposes. When you deploy a new app version, your main.js file gets a new unique name, forcing the browser to download and use that new version instead of relying on the previous one. You can…

Causely, a provider of an observability platform based on causal artificial intelligence (AI) models, today revealed it is now adding support for open source Grafana dashboards.Announced at the GrafanaCon 2025 conference, this integration provides DevOps teams with an ability to surface root cause analysis within dashboards that are already widely used by many IT operations teams to visualize workflows.Causely CTO Shmuel Kliger said that while the company will continue to provide its own graphical user interface, Grafana dashboards in many IT organizations are already a de facto standard. Additionally, Causely now supports Grafana Alertmanager to enrich existing alerts with continuously…
As discussed in my blog and book “Deciphering Data Architectures: Choosing Between a Modern Data Warehouse, Data Fabric, Data Lakehouse, and Data Mesh” (Amazon), organizations are often challenged with choosing the right data architecture to meet their business goals—especially as AI and data-driven decision-making take center stage. To help clarify, here’s a quick review of the four core architectures, followed by guidance on when to use each. Each architecture includes five stages of data movement – ingest, store, transform, model, and visualize (described here).Modern Data Warehouse (MDW)A Modern Data Warehouse architecture combines a data lake for storing raw, unstructured, and…
I was recently asked if you can restore multiple differential backups in preparation for a migration. I responded that yes, technically you can restore multiple differential backups, however it will not speed up your cutover. I explained that the last differential will still restore all the differential data since the full backup. They were thinking that the last differential restore would skip data that was previously restored from an earlier differential restore. I could understand their logic and they wanted to believe what I was telling them, but sometimes it is easier to believe something when you can see it…
System administration often involves repetitive tasks such as file management, user account creation, service monitoring, and system backups. While Linux-based operating systems like Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) offer various tools to manage these tasks, automation can help save time, reduce human error, and improve overall efficiency. Python, a high-level programming language, is an excellent tool for automating system administration tasks. It is easy to learn, has a rich set of libraries, and provides flexibility to perform a wide range of administrative operations. In this article, we will explore how to use Python scripts for automating common system administration tasks…
Pulumi today previewed an internal developer platform (IDP) through which DevOps and platform engineering teams will be able to access reusable building blocks that can be used to create templates and blueprints to build applications.Scheduled to be generally available later this year for self-hosted environments or via a software-as-service (SaaS) application, Pulumi IDP will be made available at no extra cost to the company’s existing base of more than 3,500 customers.The overall goal is to make it simpler for DevOps teams of any skill level to set up golden paths for building applications using an IDP that provides drift and…
Appending text to files is a common task in systems administration and development, especially when dealing with large datasets or logs. This can be efficiently accomplished using a Bash script, which is a powerful command-line shell in Unix-like operating systems, offering a range of utilities and operators to manipulate files, including the ability to append text. In this article, we will walk you through the process of appending text to a single file and then expand that to appending text to multiple files using a Bash script, which is a useful skill when you need to automate text insertion in…
OpenAI is buying artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted coding tool Windsurf, formerly known as Codeium, for about $3 billion in its largest acquisition to date.The long-rumored deal, reported by Bloomberg News on Monday, should significantly boost ChatGPT’s coding functionality as well as put OpenAI in position to more effectively compete in the fledgling market for AI-powered coding assistants, tools capable of writing code based on natural language prompts. OpenAI has been steadily rolling out upgrades in coding with the release of each of its newer models.The Pro version of ChatGPT, OpenAI’s signature AI chatbot, includes features specifically for developers such as a…
Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools remain primarily in the hands of early adopters, but broader adoption is accelerating. Alongside this growth, MCP security concerns are becoming more urgent. By increasing agent autonomy, MCP tools introduce new risks related to misalignment between agent behavior and user expectations and uncontrolled execution. These systems also present a novel attack surface, creating new software supply chain threats. As a result, MCP adoption raises critical questions about trust, isolation, and runtime control before these systems are integrated into production environments. Where MCP tools fall short on security Most of us first experimented with MCP tools…
