Can you troubleshoot Traefik proxy issues? New SadServers scenario “San Juan” sadservers.com/scenario/san...
The latest SadServers newsletter went out today, showing the new scenarios since the previous one and some comments about them: list.sadservers.com/archive/4cfd...
The popularity of the “Saskatoon” scenario results in many incorrect user solutions, often because they are missing a "sort" but also perhaps because the solution file was considered "wrong" without an ending newline. Fixed the latter and added a verification tip.
Scheduled this weekend: new SadServers prices & offerings.
-Current Pro users keep their low price & all features.
-New Pro+ plan will get new features.
Responding to users' feedback:
-Introducing a new Business Pay-Per-Use plan.
-All subscriptions get bigger yearly discounts.
LinkedIn feedback 🙂
The beginning of the year and resolutions (for example, learning something new) is a good reminder that we humans tend to overestimate what we can do short term and underestimate what we can do long term.
For AWS in North America, you want to be in the Ohio region 😉
SadServers 2025 year in review (spoiler: it was very good) docs.sadservers.com/blog/2025-ye...
Usually we don't like to spend time on things that don't have a direct positive impact on users but a good refactor of the backend code was long overdue.
A few bugs caught and improved performance so far; got rid of our two most expensive queries for example 😀🚀
Given the participation and the feedback, seems like the SadServers #AdventOfSysadmin was a huge success! 😀

A modular monolith tends to be a good option www.twilio.com/en-us/blog/d...
Looks like we'll have to look into having a second active AWS region; the price of success and having so many ec2 instances created is that sometimes a few fail 🫤
Last day of #AdventOfSysadmin , culminating with a hard but fun scenario.
Then we’ll start adding clues & solutions to the 11 new Advent challenges.
In production ML, the real outages usually come not from your models but from the Linux, Docker, and web infrastructure holding them up - this Christmas we can dive into the Advent of DevOps:

#AdventOfSysAdmin it was about time SadServers had a Docker multi-stage optimization scenario 😀 sadservers.com/scenario/tor...
New “hack” scenario dropping soon (medium-hard) for Sunday 😀
For Saturday, since it's the weekend, let's have an easy SadServers scenario (still pretty common JSON manipulation from AWS cli) #AdventOfSysadmin
It could have a better description but at least Claude knows about SadServers without looking it up. Take note ChatGPT 😄
#AdventOfSysadmin Not 1, not 2, we have 5 new SadServers scenarios this week (so far), one per day! sadservers.com/advent 💪🚀🐧
Very cool!
