Scenario: "Bizerte": The Slow Application

Level: Medium

Type: Fix

Access: Email

Description: A Python web application running on port 5000 from the /opt directory is experiencing severe performance issues; every request takes more than 5 seconds to complete.
The application is supposed to use the redis-server cache service for speed.

Your mission is to diagnose the performance bottleneck and restore the application to its normal, fast response time.

Do not change the Python application file slow_app.py.

Test: curl localhost:5000 returns Data from FAST cache!

Scenario: "Tunis": Redis Replication Problem

Level: Medium

Type: Fix

Access: Paid

Description: A Redis master-replica setup is running on this server, with the master on port 6379 and the replica on port 6380. Both instances show as "connected" when you check their status, but data synchronization has silently broken.

Recent writes to the master don't appear on the replica, even though there are no obvious errors in the logs and both Redis instances appear healthy.

Fix the replication issues so that data written to the master (port 6379) immediately appears on the replica (port 6380) without data loss.

Master: localhost:6379
Replica: localhost:6380
Password: masterpass123

A helper test script is available at /home/admin/test_replication.sh

Test: The solution will be validated by writing a test key to the master and verifying it appears on the replica within 2 seconds.

Time to Solve: 20 minutes.
