WHAT IS STATUS CAKE


A GOOD PRODUCT WITH GOOD SUPPORT- STATUS CAKE

Every second your website is down is money and reputation lost – and you are powerless to do anything until you know about the issue!

Sites go down as they always have and even with cloud hosting and various levels of redundancy sites will still go down; and while we've yet to have any serious downtime it doesn't mean we have not prepared for the issue. 


Status Cakes core testing software has been built around the concept of ensuring that if any one part of the system fails the rest can continue as normal. How to do it?? Quite simply by ensuring every single one of our servers is self-dependent and doesn't need to talk to another server to be able to detect website downtime.

The servers each send a list of the current IP s within the network to each other – and then they ping each other every minute. If one of these pings isn't sent (say because one of our servers has died) then another one of the servers will communicate with the others to tell the network as a whole it will pick up the slack for the offline server. This whole process happens within 1 minute of a server going down.

While the end user reporting in the interface would be delayed the actual alerts and testing would continue unaffected – and we have enough redundancy that over 80% of our servers could go offline (and remember our servers are in different data centers  before alerts are impacted. It’s just another layer of icing on top of the Status Cake; so don’t get caught out by up time monitoring services that delay important notifications – give Status Cake a try!

What are some mistakes people make when they start learning HTML, CSS and JavaScript?

Using id instead of class names Many beginners are tending to write CSS using id names instead of CSS class names. We should always aim to reuse the code as much as possible. By using id names we are applying styles only to that particular div rather than sharing the styles which are common to div s having the same class name. Do read this article which gives a practical approach to maintainable CSS . Not using CSS shorthand Using CSS shorthand will come as a second nature by practice. Until then we need to force ourselves to write CSS in the right way. While working on a large project, we will notice that by using shorthand properties the number of code lines in CSS file will be reduced reasonably. CSS Measurements 0px is just a 0. There is no need to mention if it is a px or em. Following a standard measurement throughout the project is important. Be it px or rem, it should be followed by all for the project. Using relative values are encouraged more than absolu
