Hi HN! I’ve spent the majority of my time in adtech (sorry!) and briefly in airline revenue management in leadership roles for the past 3-4 years.

I’ve gone through the growing pains of hiring and retaining talented people, helped on the strategic side of things as well as pitched to customers, investors and m&a teams.

Staticheck is an awesome tool. I've used it quite a bit and (shameless plug) tried to build a codeclimate engine[1] for it a while back.

I remember trying to integrate it with code climate's tooling but for some reason or another I didn't manage to.

Thats the `terraform graph` command.

`terraform graph` was used in the post but it's not the one he linked to.

This seems custom to me, maybe Sketch or something.



Thanks for sharing this! How long was your team given to complete this project?

  Cassandra response time was increasing with load to a certain point where clients started to timeout and the video playback completely stopped.
and

  After these changes, we were able to achieve a latency in the order of 10ms for our 99% percentile.
How did you test this? Are there any benchmarking/load testing tools for cases such as streaming?


If I'm not wrong, we start to access that around 1y but I think we really spent 7-10m on it.

You can send metrics from Cassandra to graphite http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/pluggable-metrics-reporting...

Since the streaming is similar to HTTP page flow, it's not that hard.

I'm sorry but how is this post hacker news worthy? One can just read the mongodb manual [1] and find out for himself.

This is an awesome idea and a great next step for duckduckgo. Hack your own search engine FTW!


I'm pretty sure this is a repost. This PDF was released for free a couple months ago.

Odd, and I can't "Flag" articles anymore?


That's strange, the link is showing up for me (both here on the comment page and in the overview)


The title of this post has nothing to do with the post itself. TNW you suck.
