I had a chat with Theo Schlossnagle to talk about OmniTI, Surge Scalability Conference, and Circonus. Theo has also written and contributed to books such as Scalable Internet Architectures and Web Operations.
Show Notes
- Theo loves Beautiful Code, and he feels Web Operations has a similar feel.
- Surge is a conference for sharing experiences in building web apps
- The goal of Circonus is to bring monitoring, alerting, and trending functions all into one app
- Circonus can connect and check the health of MySQL and Postgres db servers
- OmniTI and ClearLeft partnered up to launch FontDeck
- Theo wanted to use a commercially available CDN for FontDeck, but they had to build their own.
- The FontDeck CDN uses Dynect to do GeoLocation lookups
- Theo gave a talk at Velocity
- Josh has been working on breaking down the Tweethopper daemon into smaller, simpler parts
- Circonus uses Citrix Netscaler, mod_perl, postgres, snowth, perl, c, java, lua, and rabbitMQ.
