The fastest remote directory rsync over ssh archival I can muster (40MB/s over 1gb NICs)

This creates an archive that does the following:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
H: preserves hard-links
A: preserves ACLs

Important files

Here you find the DSL language definition for your phrases you can use in .feature files:

features/bootstrap/FeatureContext.php inherits from
vendor/behat/mink-extension/Behat/MinkExtension/Context/MinkContext.php

Installation

With Homebrew that gets really easy:

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

-E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
-l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)

Elastic Beanstalk Java JVM Settings

Determining the right memory settings (MX & MS) for the JVM is not trivial. If you set memory too low then your machine will trash as it runs out and eventually crash. If you set it too high then other critical processes such as Apache or the OS itself may become memory starved and also cause crashes.

In general, I think it best to set the initial memory setting (MS) to be small, around 200M. The real variable we need to calculate is the limit we will place on JVM memory (MS).

In order to make this determination, we need to calculate a few things such as the memory that Apache and the Linux OS need to operate efficiently.
