Puppet products and solutions are designed to make your work day easier—and learning how to use them should be just as easy.

Like all good things in infrastructure, picking whether or not to self-host your database is full of trade-offs. On the one hand, you have the absolute freedom to do whatever it is you want with your database - whether it's adding a useful Postgres extension, or experimenting with new technologies.

I’m a big fan of Saturday Night Live, and one of my most favorite skits is from the 1994/1995 season called Bathroom Monkey with Janeane Garafalo.
