About This Project

Diagnosed and resolved critical disk space issues on production Linux servers caused by runaway Docker container logs. Implemented log rotation solution using logrotate and cron within Docker containers. The Airbyte server container was generating 141GB of logs in a single file, causing API services to fail. Created automated hourly rotation strategy that maintains system stability while preserving log data.
