An Introduction or: A Definitive Guide to Life, Love, and Happiness

Really!!??

You're telling me that the author of this blog about working from home is going to unravel the meaning of life for me?  I'm skeptical...

That's the thought that may be running through your head at the moment and if it is then you're completely justified because I'm not.  Sorry for the click-bait but it's the internet and everyone is fighting over a moment of your time, so as the saying goes "GO BIG OR GO HOME"!

To that point though, it is true that your attention is always being sucked into one thing or another that you need to fix right now, or buy right now, or read right now so I'm offering you brief moment of respite.  Just relax, take a few moments and focus yourself because I don't want anything from you.  You can just go about doing what you want for a bit, I give you permission, before you're sucked back into the world of responsibilities and demands.  This is simply my "Hello World" or my "Watson, Come Here …" and you better brace yourself for what's to come because I don't even have a clue of what I've unleashed!

Errors Out The Gate or: Why Does My Newly Built Sitecore PaaS Environment Have So Many Errors!

So you've gone through the process of building a brand new Sitecore environment totally pristine.  You've installed your favorite APM (Application Performance Monitor) tool and made sure it's working.  You're about ready to let your development team rip into this work of digital craftsmanship when you notice it; a flood of exceptions across multiple application services all seemingly tied together.

Sitecore App Services Out of Disk Space or: The case of the ever growing logs!

Azure app services have a lot of very cool features and abstract many of the responsibilities more traditional Virtual Machines would bestow upon it's owners.  However, one of the things you still have to concern yourself with is the disk spaced used by your application.  Normally an application in Sitecore is not going to be that huge since we're not counting any of those OS level files and directories and most of your media assets are going to be put into blob storage or a CDN somewhere else.  However, if you run your App Service for long enough you may eventually see the storage space usage increase to a point where it becomes dangerous.  Similar to how a Memory leak grabs your memory resources without letting them go and balloons, in this case we're talking about a Filesystem leak. SYMPTOMS: - App Service backups begin to fail - You notice the disk space usage of your app services continually growing past what you'd expect normally - You experience "System.IOEx...
