FWIW I've always heard it described as a thundering herd. Though, your description is spot on, according to Wikipedia [1]. The problem the article discusses is called a cache stampede or dog pile [2]. [1] https://en.wikipedi

Groupcache is one implementation in Go. However, it uses its own in-memory cache on your app servers instead of an external cache service. https://github.com/golang/groupcache https://news.ycombinator.com&#x

How do you handle a custom GOPATH like that when the current repository needs to be in there too? We've tried manually symlinking the repo dir into the custom '$GOPATH/src/github.com/user/repo' dir, but it

Migrations stay pretty small. Most of them just add a column or index. We also have to make sure tables aren't too hot to migrate. See a previous post for more on that: http://githubengineering.com/using-mysql-performan

Yes, that's really important for the Git LFS project to us. Of the languages that we're comfortable with, it's the only one that met that requirement. I feel like there have been a lot of blog posts and HN discussions about

I think the main take-away with this post is that static sites for docs are awesome. GitHub uses [nanoc]( http://nanoc.ws/ ) for the [API documentation]( https://developer.github.com/ ). The only downside of h

We use MySQL with ActiveRecord primarily (with a few exceptions). So that's all Users, Repositories, Issues, etc. Git data gets stored with Git on separate file servers.

The query annotations show up as a mysql comment next to the query. I don't know if we have any automatic indexing of the annotations themselves. We try to stick to ruby/rails since so many people are comfortable in that environm

Whatever happened, happened. There's no rebasing involved. There's just a lot of jumping around to various tags at different points in time.

For what it's worth, we have an API endpoint that has had the right IP network listed ever since it went active. If you _need_ to verify IPs for whatever reason, use this: http://developer.github.com/v3/meta/
