3. Narrative Scenario (≈400 words)
The afternoon sun filtered through the lab’s windows, casting long shadows across the clean white benches. A volunteer, an otherwise healthy adult, lay comfortably on the MRI couch, his arms gently tucked by the sides of a padded support system. Dr. Reyes, the supervising neuroscientist, watched intently as her second-year student, Miguel, prepared for the scan.
Miguel approached with a small tablet in hand, its screen glowing faintly. "The subject is ready," he said softly, ensuring his voice carried no hint of nervousness. He tapped the tablet, and a green progress bar began to fill—an indicator that the system was calibrating.
On the monitor beside the couch, an icon pulsed gently: a stylized silhouette with a subtle outline of a brain, signifying the ongoing scan. The icon’s calm rhythm mirrored the measured pace of the procedure, reassuring both subject and staff.
Miguel whispered to the subject, "We’re just starting. You’ll feel some pressure from the machine; it will be brief." He gestured toward the headphones on the subject—soft, white cushions that would soon shield their ears from the low hum of the MRI machine.
The icon’s design was simple yet evocative: a faint blue glow encircled the silhouette, implying depth and motion. Its gentle animation suggested continuity—a steady progression through each slice of the brain being captured.
A subtle sound cue accompanied each pause in the icon’s rhythm—an almost imperceptible click, like a breath held by an observer at a concert. The click was designed to provide auditory feedback that the system had paused, but it remained low enough not to interfere with the MRI’s own noises or with the subject’s hearing.
The entire visual interface served to reassure participants that the process was under control: a continuous, smooth icon indicating that the scan was in progress, and occasional pauses indicated that data was being processed. The pauses were brief, never exceeding a few seconds; thus, the subject could rest momentarily but was always aware of the procedure’s progression.
In this setting, participants had no prior experience with MRI scanning or with being asked to remain still for long periods. They might have been nervous about lying in an unfamiliar environment, about hearing loud noises, or about potential claustrophobia. The visual feedback provided by the continuous icon and brief pauses helped them understand that the procedure was routine and controlled.
From a psychological perspective, this scenario involved the interplay between physiological arousal (the scanning noise), cognitive appraisal of the situation, and behavioral responses (remaining still). The visual feedback likely served to regulate anxiety by providing external cues about task demands and progress. The repeated pauses might have reduced anticipatory stress by offering brief periods for breathing or mental reset.
This case illustrates how human factors engineering can be integrated into high-precision medical environments. By designing interfaces that provide clear, continuous feedback, the cognitive load on operators (or patients) can be minimized, leading to safer outcomes and improved user experience."

3. Solution Guide
Below we provide detailed answers to each question, emphasizing trade‑offs, failure handling, and optimization strategies.
3.a. Multi‑Layer Caching Strategy for Video Streaming
Problem Summary:
We need to deliver video content with minimal latency while reducing upstream traffic, using edge servers (CDN nodes) and client-side caching. The cache must adapt to changing popularity of videos.
Design Steps:
Cache Placement (Edge Level):
- Deploy a hierarchy: regional CDN nodes closer to clients.
- Use Probabilistic Cache Replacement (e.g., LRU, LFU, or more advanced schemes like ARC) tuned for video workloads.
- Prefetching: Analyze request patterns; prefetch popular videos during off-peak hours.
Cache Replacement Policy:
- Standard LRU works but may not handle long tail well.
- Consider Least Recently/Frequently Used (LRU-FIFO) or ARC which adapts between recency and frequency.
- For video, use Segmented LRU where different segments of a file are cached separately.
Edge Caching:
- Deploy caches at CDN edge nodes to reduce latency.
- Use consistent hashing to map videos to cache servers for load balancing.
Cache Invalidation / Consistency:
- When content updates, propagate invalidation messages via a publish-subscribe system (e.g., Kafka).
- For large video files, use ETags or MD5 hashes to detect changes.
Cache Miss Handling:
- On miss, fetch from origin server and stream back.
- Optionally prefetch adjacent segments of the same video for future requests.
Metrics Collection:
- Track hit/miss ratios, cache size, eviction counts.
- Use these metrics to adjust caching policies (e.g., TTLs).

Disk I/O `iostat`
Network Bandwidth per service Net data counters
User Experience Time to first byte (TTFB) Real User Monitoring
Page load times Browser dev tools, RUM
---
4. Data‑Driven Decision Making
Identify Bottlenecks
Look for high CPU/memory usage on specific containers → may need more replicas or better code.
High latency in DB queries → query optimization or caching.
Validate Hypotheses with Experiments
Before scaling, run A/B tests: add a new instance vs. leave unchanged; measure response time and error rate.
Cost vs. Performance Trade‑offs
For each change, calculate the cost impact (e.g., 1 more VM at $0.10/h). Compare against performance gains (e.g., 30% reduction in latency).
Automate Scaling Decisions
Use metrics to set thresholds for auto‑scaling: e.g., if CPU >70% for 5 min, spawn new instance.
6. Final Decision and Rationale
Option Pros Cons Recommendation
Add more VMs Immediate compute capacity; easy to implement. Costly; may still not solve memory bottleneck; risk of uneven load. Use only for short‑term relief or when CPU is the limiting factor.
Upgrade existing VM(s) Consolidated resources; potentially better performance. Requires downtime; high memory/CPU cost; still limited by single instance's limits. Consider if you can afford downtime and need a single robust server.
Deploy additional worker nodes Horizontal scaling; fault tolerance; load balancing. More complex; requires orchestration (K8s, Docker Swarm). Recommended for long‑term scalability and resilience.
---
5. Final Recommendation
Assess whether CPU or memory is the bottleneck.
- If you see CPU saturation >80% with low memory usage → add more worker nodes.
- If memory usage reaches ~70–80% of your limit, consider adding nodes or upgrading to a larger machine.
If you decide to scale horizontally (recommended for most production environments):
- Set up Docker Swarm or Kubernetes.
- Deploy the `backend` as a replicated service with at least 3 replicas (`docker stack deploy`).
- Use an internal load balancer or ingress controller to route traffic.
If you need a quick vertical upgrade:
- Stop services, detach containers from the host, and re‑attach them to a larger container runtime (e.g., Docker with higher memory limits).
- Ensure that your application is configured to use environment variables for database credentials rather than hard‑coded strings.

Quick Reference Commands
1. Check current resource usage
top
htop
docker stats
2. Stop all services
docker compose down
3. Upgrade container memory limit (example: 4GB)
docker run -d --name myapp \
--memory="4g" \
--cpus="2" \
-e DB_HOST=host.docker.internal \
-e DB_USER=root \
-e DB_PASSWORD=secret \
-p 80:80 \
myimage
4. Or use docker-compose.yml with mem_limit
services:
web:
image: myimage
mem_limit: 4g
But the user may not want to stop all services, just those that rely on MySQL.
Better to propose:
Use `docker exec -it mysql -u root -p` to connect and create database.
For connection errors from PHP: update config file (wp-config.php for WordPress). Provide example: `$DB_NAME`, `$DB_USER`, `$DB_PASSWORD`.
But the user may not know that they need to set up DB. So we provide instructions:
Steps to setup MySQL Database:
Run `docker ps` to find container ID or name of mysql.
Exec into container: `docker exec -it bash`
Inside, run: `mysql -u root -p`. Provide password from env var.
Create database: `CREATE DATABASE mydatabase;`
Create user: `GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mydatabase. TO 'user'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;`
Exit.
In php code, connect using mysql credentials.
Alternatively, use MySQL client outside container:
`docker run --rm -it mysql:5.7 mysql -h -u root -p`
But host may be local.
Also note that the network alias 'db' or 'mysql' may need to map to actual service name in docker-compose file.
We also mention that if using Docker Compose, you can connect from container to MySQL by referencing `service_name` as hostname.
In addition, we may provide commands to test connectivity:
docker exec -it ping mysql
docker exec -it mysql -h mysql -u root -p
Also mention that if you are using `localhost`, the container will try to connect to its own network stack, not host. Use host's IP or gateway.
Alternatively, use `host.docker.internal` (Docker Desktop) for host access.
Ok. Let's craft final answer accordingly. Provide details and commands. We'll produce a comprehensive explanation.
Let's write final answer in Markdown with sections: 1) Understand networking; 2) Connect from container to database; 3) Common pitfalls; 4) Quick test; 5) Example scripts; 6) Troubleshooting.
Ok, let's produce.## How a Docker container talks to the database
What you’re trying to do Where the traffic must go Key points
Container → DB Inside‑network (bridge) or external host port Use the hostname that the container can resolve, not `localhost`.
| DB → Container | Usually not needed unless the DB has a callback to your app. | If you need the DB to reach back into the container, expose a port on the container and let the DB connect to `:`. |
1. Using Docker Compose (recommended)
version: '3'
services:
web:
build: .
depends_on: db
environment:
DATABASE_HOST: db
hostname of the db service
db:
image: postgres:13
volumes:
- pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data
volumes:
pgdata:
`web` can reach the database at host `db`, port default for Postgres (`5432`).
No need to know the IP address; Docker Compose creates a network where service names are DNS entries.
2. Using plain `docker run`
Start the database container first
docker run -d --name my-postgres \
-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword \
postgres:13
Then start your app, linking to the db by name or using network
docker run -it --rm --link my-postgres:db \
-p 8000:8000 \
my-python-app
`--link` gives the container a hostname (`db`) that resolves to the database container’s IP.
Alternatively, create an explicit Docker bridge network:
docker network create mynet
docker run -d --name my-postgres --network mynet postgres:13
docker run -it --rm --network mynet -p 8000:8000 my-python-app
Now the app can connect to `postgres://db/...` because Docker DNS resolves `db` to the IP of the database container.
4.2. Docker‑Compose
A more concise approach is to use docker-compose, which automatically creates a network and allows service names as hostnames:
docker-compose.yml
version: '3.8'
services:
web:
image: my-python-app
ports:
- "8000:8000"
depends_on:
- db
db:
image: postgres:13
environment:
POSTGRES_DB: mydb
POSTGRES_USER: user
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: pass
Running `docker-compose up` will spin up both containers, expose port 8000 on the host, and let your Python app connect to the database using `host=db`, `port=5432`, etc.
If you need a persistent volume for the PostgreSQL data, add:
volumes:
db-data:
and then:
db:
image: postgres:13
volumes:
- db-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
This way, your database remains across restarts.
3. Common pitfalls & debugging
Port mapping – `-p` maps container → host. If you want the host to listen on a different port, use `-p :`.
Network isolation – Each container is isolated by default. To let your app talk to Postgres, either put them on the same user‑defined bridge network (`docker network create mynet` → `--network=mynet`) or run both with `--link postgres:pg` (legacy).
Environment variables for Docker‑Compose – If you’re using Compose, set `environment:` keys or use an `.env` file in the same directory.
Volume mounting vs. copying – If you only need to read files from a host directory, bind‑mount (`-v /host/path:/app:ro`). Copying with `COPY` is for building images.
5. Summary of Key Points
Task What You Do Where It Happens
Copy file `COPY myfile.txt /usr/src/app/` During image build (`Dockerfile`)
Mount host file `docker run -v $(pwd)/myfile.txt:/app/myfile.txt:ro …` At container start (runtime)
Read a local directory inside the container Mount it as above and use `ls /mnt/dir` Inside running container or during build if you `COPY` it
Use a file in a Dockerfile Reference the copied file or mount for build (`--mount=type=bind`) During image build
---
TL;DR
If you want the file inside an image, copy it with a `Dockerfile` (or bind‑mount during `docker build`).
If you only need the file at runtime, just bind‑mount or copy it into the container when you launch it.
To read any host directory from inside a container, mount that directory with `-v /host/dir:/mnt`.
