Multiple MySQL Versions with Homebrew

Multiple MySQL Versions for Development

Options included below:

  • Using Docker docker-compose
  • Using Homebrew brew

Using Docker (recommended)

This gist was originally created for Homebrew before the rise of Docker, yet it may be best to avoid installing mysql via brew any longer. Instead consider adding a barebones docker-compose.yml for each project and run docker-compose up to start each project's mysql service.

What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would

How to set up FaunaDB clusters using the Public Docker image.

How to use the FaunaDB public Docker image.

This document will walk through creating a FaunaDB docker instance using the publicly available docker image. Three different types of deployments will be illustrated.

  • A single node FaunaDB - basic developer functionality.
  • A three node, single replica instance of FaunaDB - scale out operations.
  • A three node, three replicas instance of FaunaDB - distributed operations.

Finally, we will wrap up with some more general documentation around the various options available when using the public docker image.

FaunaDB User Token Expiration (for ABAC)

Auth0 + FaunaDB ABAC integration: How to expire Fauna user secrets.

Fauna doesn't (yet?) provide guaranteed expiration/TTL for ABAC tokens, so we need to implement it ourselves if we care about it.

What's in the box?

3 javascript functions, each of which can be imported into your project or run from the command-line using node path/to/script.js arg1 arg2 ... argN:

  1. deploy-schema.js: a javascript function for creating supporting collections and indexes in your Fauna database.

To add the snippets:

  1. Hit > shift + command + p and type snippets (or go look for 2.)
  2. Select Preferences: Open User Snippets
  3. Choose the language type for which you want to add the custom snippet (choosed all, for js/ts/fql files)
  4. Copy/Paste the snippets.json content in there
