A simple git deploy hook for notifying New Relic of deployments, it assumes that the base folder name of the repository is the application name. To set git to use this script you simply add this file into your .git/hooks folder as "post-merge".
#!/bin/bash
#New Relic API Key see https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/apis/rest-api-v2/requirements/api-key#creating
NR_API_KEY="INSERT_API_KEY_HERE"
#Find New Relic App Name, if your top level folder is not the name of your application change the below two lines to simply NR_APP_NAME="MY_APP_NAME".
NR_APP_NAME=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
NR_APP_NAME=$(basename "$NR_APP_NAME")

Find the most recent Ubuntu AMI using aws-cli (or any other AMI for that matter)
#!/bin/sh
# Use AWS CLI to get the most recent version of an AMI that
# matches certain criteria. Has obvious uses. Made possible via
# --query, --output text, and the fact that RFC3339 datetime
# fields are easily sortable.

Redis vs Memcache

When deciding between Memcached and Redis, here are a few questions to consider:

  • Is object caching your primary goal, for example to offload your database? If so, use Memcached.
  • Are you interested in as simple a caching model as possible? If so, use Memcached.
  • Are you planning on running large cache nodes, and require multithreaded performance with utilization of multiple cores? If so, use Memcached.
  • Do you want the ability to scale your cache horizontally as you grow? If so, use Memcached.
  • Does your app need to atomically increment or decrement counters? If so, use either Redis or Memcached.
  • Are you looking for more advanced data types, such as lists, hashes, and sets? If so, use Redis.
  • Does sorting and ranking datasets in memory help you, such as with leaderboards? If so, use Redis.
  • Are publish a
