We reviewed the current options at one point (Zookeper, Doozer and something from Netflix) but ended up just using DNS (Route 53) for our config. This however looks great, and supports nested keys (trees) whereas DNS comes up short in that

What makes me excited about Docker’s diff-based filesystem stack is that it potentially allows a build of code to go through a CI chain untouched, all the way into production really quickly. I’m not a virtual machine expert, but I believe t

This project has roots at least some years back, so it’s not starting from scratch with lofty ideas that are unlikely to come to fruition. Solid team with a great ideology!

For the record, we have a very similar production environment and we bake on every deploy. We have some tricks to make it as fast as possible though. A deployment takes 2-3 minutes with code changes and more with requirements changes. We th

Good points. Not 100% sold on scaling being a problem. The master-apprentice relationship scales for a lot of industries and has for hundreds of years. Also, I didn’t get the perception from this article that they’re trying to replace unive

Are you kidding me? Ending up with the kid after a divorce takes opportunities away too. It’s what is expected of most women and in my mind contributes to inequality tipping job opportunities and hirability in the favor of men.

Hi Simon - I greatly appreciate your work and opinion! The reason I think HTML forms libraries are insufficient for the problem domain: JSON is richer, both in datatypes and structure. We’re working on a forms library of sorts that is bette

Flask’s documentation is great, and the codebase is readable and small. The third party community is not as big as Django’s, but the 3rd party work is verified and approved by Armin (Flask and Jinja2 author). These guidelines encourage auth

Django middlewares is a poorly designed system. Flask has all of the things you mentioned except for forms. For that you can use Flask-WTF, but these libraries are becoming outdated anyway because they’re HTML based and don’t work so well f

Exactly. I’m afried App.net will die soon if they can’t figure out how to appeal to anyone trying to build a business (not hobbyists making free apps, because charging your users to create an account has be a negligible part of your value p

Congrats! It’d be cool if I could collect uploaded files and logs into S3.

I see. We tackle the same issue by having a redis keyspace with emails. It can get pretty huge without any problems.

That’s not what they’re doing. They are sharding horizontally on the user. ID’s are 64 bits with the db location (logical shard id) in the first 16 bits. This will allow anyone with an ID to go to the right db for querying, granted they hav

For those interested, we’re creating a multi-platform trivia game. We’ll have many satellite apps which will help us bring in new users, and one main app where people can create a profile and discover many topics. Further down the road we i

Great effort! Any reason this shouldn’t be the basis of Boto unit tests?

Really dig this project. Instead of having different projects implement multiprocess models to use multicore hardware, let Circus bind a socket and hand over the file descriptor for all processes. It means that instead of having Gunicorn or

I’m not sure I understand. The way Instagram do it, they ensure uniqueness across shards so reporting should not have to merge anything.

I was under the impression they went with a home baked id generator was to be able to encode the logical shard id into the id. I think UUID 1 encodes info about the hardware (mac address), but their data changes physical hardware as they sp

It’s hard to author by hand. Ever added a comma after the last element in a list? It’s not very forgiving.

INI, JSON and YAML all have problems. None of them are serious enough for me to consider this for a small project with one or two config files required. Good to be able to point to a config file syntax done right though.
