Beginnings…

What this blog will be about:

  • Services!  Monolithic applications are for losers.
  • Postgresql: backups, replication, performance, storage
  • Rails: nothing too Rails specific, but some general thoughts, especially about integrating with services and background processes and forms.
  • Load balancing 
  • Backups & Recovery
  • Failures: thinking of them, thinking of recovery options.
  • Chef
  • Logging
  • Visualization & transparency
  • Alerting
  • Daemons
  • Security

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

All intelligent thoughts have already been thought; what is necessary is only to try to think them again.
