Following up from my article published a few days ago, I have now extended and improved the simple WebGL application that I originally developed using Three.js and react-three-fiber. Version 1 of the application allowed dragging a simple shape around on the screen: App: https://react-three-fiber-draggable.surge.sh/ Source Code:

I recently became interested how to render 3D graphics in the browser. I think WebGL is an extremely powerful technology and may one day become an important way of rendering content on the web. There are various frameworks and tools available to use WebGL such as Babylon.js and three.

Following up on the GraphQL, Node.JS and React Monorepo Starter Kit and GraphQL Apollo Starter Kit (Lerna, Node.js), I have now created an extended example which includes facilities to run unit and integration tests using Jest.

I have been looking around for an easy to use and reasonable priced solution for managing logs distributed among many servers and system metrics for these servers. I had a brief look into setting up an ELK system but I found that looked quite cumbersome. Recently I came across Graylog

Since I plan to set up a continuous integration server in the near future, I had a quick look around for open source and cloud-based solutions; my main concern was finding something which will work for a small scale project and result in reasonable costs. Jenkins (Open Source) The best
