Site Reliability Engineering — Best of this Week — 23 April 2023
“Productivity is being able to do things that you were never able to do before.” — Franz Kafka
I compile Site Reliability Engineering/DevOps-related articles every week and help you keep up your learning game.
This week we covered:
- A better alternative to Jmeter!
- How SSH Jumpox Works
- Vscode CSV Editor Extension
I also write about the tools and tips related to Software Development and SRE regularly on my Linkedin profile. You can check out my profile here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vikasyadav94/
A better alternative to Jmeter!
Looking for a good load-testing tool? Please don’t use Jmeter.
Try locust instead and I can guarantee that you’ll love it — https://lnkd.in/e8p_s9ms
Locust lets you define user behavior with Python code, and swarm your system with millions of simultaneous users.
You define the behavior of your users in regular Python code, instead of being constrained by a UI or domain-specific language that only pretends to be real code. This makes Locust infinitely expandable and very developer friendly.

How SSH Jumpox works
Did you know how 🤔 ssh jumpbox works?
Jumpboxes, also known as bastion hosts or jump servers, are a special type of server that helps keep your other servers safe! They also help you access servers that might not be directly connected to the Internet.
When you want to connect to a private server — you first connect to the jumpbox 🚪. The jumpbox acts like an entry point to the private network!
Once the jumpbox has verified your identity and made sure your connection is secure, it establishes a tunnel and lets you create a secure connection to the server you want to access.
Checkout this diagram to understand how Jumpbox works in more detail!
Vscode CSV Editor Extension
If you’re a vscode user, you absolutely need to check out this fantastic extension. 🤩💻
This amazing extension allows you to easily edit, sort, filter, and manipulate CSV files within VS Code. It also provides features like row numbering, highlighting, and error reporting which make working with CSV files a breeze. And the best part? It works with vscode remote so you can easily modify files on remote servers as well!
