NVM (Node Version Manager) allows installing and switching between multiple Node.js versions on the same machine without system-level package manager involvement. This is essential for developers or servers that need to run different Node.js versions for different projects — for example, running a legacy application on Node.js 16 while developing a new application on Node.js […]
Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome’s V8 engine that enables server-side JavaScript execution. Its non-blocking, event-driven I/O model makes it exceptionally efficient for real-time applications, REST APIs, streaming services, and microservices that handle many concurrent connections. The RHEL 9 default AppStream provides Node.js 18, but the NodeSource repository provides the latest LTS releases […]
Python 3 is the most widely used language for web development, data science, machine learning, automation, and DevOps tooling. RHEL 9 ships with Python 3.9 by default, but newer versions (3.11, 3.12) are available from the AppStream repository and provide significant performance improvements — CPython 3.11 is 10–60% faster than 3.10 for most workloads. The […]
Laravel is the most popular PHP web application framework, providing an expressive, MVC-based structure with built-in features including Eloquent ORM, Blade templating, database migrations, queues, events, broadcasting, and the Artisan CLI. Laravel follows convention-over-configuration to reduce boilerplate and accelerates development with scaffolding tools like Breeze (authentication starter kit) and Jetstream. This guide covers creating a […]
PHP is the dominant server-side scripting language powering WordPress, Laravel, Drupal, Magento, and thousands of other web applications. RHEL 9 ships with PHP 8.1 by default, but the Remi repository provides the latest PHP releases including PHP 8.3. PHP 8.3 introduced typed class constants, new json_validate() function, and further performance improvements over PHP 8.2. The […]
RabbitMQ is a mature, battle-tested open-source message broker that implements the AMQP 0-9-1 protocol. It decouples application components by enabling asynchronous communication through exchanges, queues, and bindings. Producers publish messages to exchanges; exchanges route messages to queues based on routing rules (direct, topic, fanout, headers); consumers subscribe to queues and process messages independently of the […]
Memcached is a high-performance, distributed in-memory key-value cache designed specifically for caching database query results, session data, and computed values. Unlike Redis, Memcached is deliberately simple — it does not support persistence, replication, or complex data types. This simplicity makes Memcached extremely fast and memory-efficient: it uses a slab allocator to eliminate memory fragmentation and […]
SQLite is a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration SQL database engine that stores an entire database in a single file on disk. Unlike MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB which require a running server process, SQLite is a library that is linked directly into the application — there is no network connection, no authentication, and no administration overhead. SQLite […]
PostgreSQL provides two complementary backup tools: pg_dump for logical backups of individual databases (SQL statements that can be restored to any PostgreSQL version) and pg_basebackup for physical backups of the entire database cluster (exact byte-for-byte copy of the data directory, used for streaming replication setup and point-in-time recovery). pg_dump is the right tool for most […]
PostgreSQL Streaming Replication sends WAL (Write-Ahead Log) records from a primary server to one or more standby servers in near-real-time, keeping standbys continuously synchronised with the primary. This provides high availability (automatic or manual failover when the primary fails), read scaling (queries can be distributed to hot standbys), and geographic redundancy. Unlike logical replication which […]
