[LRUG] Chat Digest, Vol 41, Issue 8

[Gerhard Lazu]

I for one would love to see a tips&tricks section at LRUG. For example:

* this is how we do our caching on our X app
* this is how we test multiple git branches in CI
* this is how we deploy our app to EC2 or
* use a CDN for our most popular files

Also, having a troubleshooting section would be great. Each of us come
across various weird scenarios which aren't covered anywhere, even the
mailing lists or Google discussion groups don't help. For example, our team
has seen peculiarities with Passenger and Apache that we've been trying to
troubleshoot for weeks now. This is a scalability issue, but getting
pointers as how to approach the issue would be greatly helpful and welcome.

So, do you think this could work?
