About
Who writes Nexolid, and why.
Hi, I’m Alex Novak. I work as a platform and infrastructure engineer somewhere in Europe, which in practice means I spend my days between Linux boxes, CI pipelines, container builds and Postgres. Before that I did backend work for a few years, and I still write more Go and shell than YAML, though some weeks it doesn’t feel that way.
This blog is my notebook. Most posts start as a note I wrote after losing an afternoon to something: a timer that didn’t fire, a backup that turned out to be empty, a bash script that kept going after a failed command. If a note was useful to me twice, it probably deserves a cleaned-up version here.
What you’ll find#
- Linux and systemd, the parts that bite in production.
- Container images, build pipelines and keeping them small.
- Postgres operations: backups, restores, upgrades.
- Shell scripting, debugging tools and small utilities.
What you won’t find#
Hot takes about frameworks, sponsored posts, or tracking.
