  Solving SonarQube OOM Issues: How I Tuned Java Memory for Better Performance The Unexpected Out of Memory Crash As a Senior DevOps Engineer, unexpected system crashes are part of the job—but they’re never fun. Today, I encountered an issue that sent me straight to the logs: SonarQube was throwing Out of Memory (OOM) errors. The culprit? The default memory configuration was simply not enough for the workload. Digging into the Problem The first step was obvious—check the logs. Sure enough, I saw OOM errors popping up, indicating that Java was running out of heap space. Given that SonarQube is a Java-based application, the logical step was to adjust its memory allocation. I started with the SonarQube web component, but I quickly ran into a hurdle: when inspecting the Helm Chart, I couldn’t find any obvious parameters to tweak the Java heap size. Helm charts typically provide configurable parameters for resource limits and custom settings, but nothing stood out related to Java m...

    In today’s fast-paced tech landscape, businesses are constantly seeking ways to improve efficiency, scalability, and reliability in their software development and deployment processes. One of the most transformative technologies to emerge in recent years is containerization, and Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for managing containerized applications. If you’re not using any form of containerization, you’re likely missing out on significant benefits. Here’s why Kubernetes is a game-changer and why you should consider adopting it. 1. Consistency Across Environments      Without containerization, applications often face the "it works on my machine" problem. Differences between development, testing, and production environments can lead to bugs and deployment failures. Containers encapsulate an application and its dependencies, ensuring consistency across environments. Kubernetes takes this a step further by managing these containers seamlessly, ensur...
