“From study models — to cosmic vessels!”Many moons ago at work, I started working on some performance evaluation. Work mainly uses cloud hosting; quite a change from my previous experience at Twitter where we ran a Xe6 scale fleet of our own servers.
This post is my speaker notes from my May 3 SF Clojure talk (video) on building Shelving, a toy Datalog implementation
At present I'm working on developing Shelving, a clojure.spec(.alpha) driven storage layer with a Datalog subset query language.
Ultimately, I want it to be an appropriate storage and query system for other project of mine like Stacks and another major version of Grimoire.
Those of you following me on twitter have probably seen me kibitzing about my development environment having been utterly destroyed by an Arch Linux package upgrade in the last ~24h.
Ox has been and will continue to be a long-haul project in part because it's a dumping ground of ideas for me, and in part because I don't desperately need it. There's plenty of bad in the software industry, but I'm able to swing the hammers that already exist. Ox isn't so much a hammer as it is an exercise in the ongoing search for what a better hammer would be.
This talk was presented at the Bay Area Clojure meetup, hosted by Funding Circle. These notes are presented here with thanks to the organizers and attendees.
At Twitter we have regular employee training courses on a number of subjects. These are my notes from our class on writing technical documentation for developers.
