Netflix's Altas, a telemetry services, uses a stack language for querying metrics. The language has a relatively steep learning curve, but once one groks it, it is surprisingly easy to use to compose complex OLAP queries.
- quag 3y agoIf anyone else is interested, https://netflix.github.io/atlas-docs/overview/#stack-language https://netflix.github.io/atlas-docs/overview/#stack-languag... is the stack language for querying.
- runlaszlorun 3y agoInteresting, I’ll check it out. One intersection insight I had with stack languages is that they might lend themselves to an AST-like visual approach. The tree <-> postfix duality was an interesting aha for me that I’d long forgotten since that sophomore data structures class. :)
- knowledge-clay 3y agoThis looks very similar to RRDTool's query language. Is this a fork, or was it just inspired by RRDTool?
- hintymad 3y agoIn that case, probably a fork, as Netflix used rrdtools extensively before Atlas.
