March 9, 2011
0 Comments
Goliath has been in production at PostRank for well over a year, serving a sustained rate of 500+ requests/s for months at a time (no memory leaks, no restarts). Internally, we use it to interface with MySQL, MongoDB, Cassandra, as well as many other local and remote web-services. Goliath supports HTTP keep-alive, request pipelining, and can be used to build real-time, streaming API’s – all features we use to optimize our infrastructure.

Benchmarking TorqueBox

I’m pleasantly surprised with TorqueBox’s speed given that we’ve spent almost zero time working on performance. Because our Rack performance is so good, there’s probably some low-hanging fruit on our Rails side of things to bring that performance back in line with Trinidad.

Backbone.js really introduces a new kind of data flow for Rails apps. Instead of data flowing like this:
Rails Model => Rails Controller => Rails View
It now flows like this:
Rails Model => Rails Controller => Backbone Model => Backbone Controller => Backbone View

Sammy On Rails
February 8, 2011

Sammy has been very succinctly described as “a tiny javascript framework built on top of jQuery. It’s RESTful Evented JavaScript” by creator and fellow Brooklyn resident Quirkey A.K.A. Aaron Quint. Aaron started down the road toward creating Sammy when he found the metaphors employed in the Sinatra Ruby web framework applicable to the Javascript he was writing for modern web applications. I’ve had the distinct pleasure of watching this library evolve from a lark to a fully featured Javascript library, and I’m proud to say that not only have I deployed it in production, it is now a normal part of my Rails workflow. If you’ve never seen Sammy before, you’ll get a basic introduction to how it works here, but I highly recommend following Mr. Quint’s excellent tutorials, and browsing what has to be some of the best documented and well-tested Javascript around.
