Good on you to build a tool to scratch your itch! As another poster highlighted, hosting other people's content is tricky. Its certainly not a business I would rather be in. I bet the management of this SaaS service is going to quickly

Yeah I'd grab the URL and feed it to curl on the command line to start inspecting the HTTP traffic and start from there.

Great points. I did have the thought about attending meetups - which is a good approach. My first reaction was just that I dont want people to think I'm leaching off of them - I want to give back (assuming they want what I have to offe

Another solution is wal-e[1] which handles continuous archiving. It was built by the Heroku guys and as such is battle-tested. I use wal-e myself and its indispensable and easy to use. https://github.com/wal-e/wal-e

I wish I could +1 this a million times. I develop a Ruby gem for the QB API (Online & Desktop)[1] and I've come to realize their whole API is a mess. I've also worked with the Xero API and its much simpler but still lacks so

Did you look at beanstalk? It has both of the features you're looking for: the ability to set a delay and when a job experiences an error it will be placed in the "buried" queue (which is like your Dead Letter Queue) http://kr.github.com/b

This looks great but how does it compare to FullCalendar? [1] From what I can see there is zero documentation, an area which FullCalendar excels at. It will be hard to use this plugin without any documentation, certainly in the areas of eve

I encountered this very issue a few years ago, basically your queue picking up jobs before the database commits. I solved this by actually queuing up my jobs to a thread-local queue and then firing the whole spool at the end of the request

By traditional I assume you mean the setup where you have an HTTP server which reverse proxies (either doing it itself) or to HAProxy which in turn proxies to the actual Ruby application server (e.g. Mongrel, Unicorn). In the above scenario

This is a good post all about using PG Schemas and Rails/ActiveRecord. Ideas could be adapted for Django, etc. http://blog.jerodsanto.net/2011/07/building-multi-tenant-rai...

I love this method and have almost the exact setup. I do the same for JS too. In the footer of every page: $(document).ready(function() { if (V.Views.orders_index) { V.Views.orders_index(); } } Where "V.Views.orders_index

cache-money is probably the most full-featured and battle-tested (coming from Twitter and now taken over by ngmoco). However its biggest drawback is that its hard-wired to use memcached. It would be great if the actual cache backend was plu

Thankfully the Heroku guys have open sourced WAL-E which manages all the tedious parts of setting this up and keeping it running. https://github.com/heroku/WAL-E

Well said. Both of these are spot on and are our main gripes as well.

Also the MySQL query cache is not very granular, it gets cleared on every write to that table. Thus, we've seen in practice that with it enabled MySQL has poorer performance as its constantly being flushed. The overhead of maintaining it do

In 1998 "The Atlantic" magazine wrote a great article about the relationship of Big Business and Prisons, known as the "Prison-Industrial Complex"[1]. Its a sobering read and really brings home the fact that incarceration is indeed big busi

We have the same setup, use local ephemeral disks on EC2 with Postgres. We never even tried EBS as we just heard too much negative things about it, namely its variance in performance. So our approach is to RAID-10 (4) local volumes together

Uber should consider implementing an app feature where I can enter my destination address and it calculates the price of that route AT THAT moment: "If you were to book a car now it would be $X" not just "hey its 6.25x". The UI is terrible.
