  • Need for Better Documentation

    Hackernoon

    Even though we all agree about the importance of good documentation, there seems to be a widespread failure on our part to act on this belief and pay attention to how we document our software. Why does this happen?

  • Elasticsearch for Analytics

    Elasticsearch is essentially a distributed search-engine but there have been more than one example of companies and projects using Elasticsearch for analytics instead of search. We, at Wingify, had similar requirements when we decided to make our analytics more powerful to empower the customers of our product, Visual Website Optimizer (VWO). This blog post is about how we used Elasticsearch to make VWO’s user tracking a lot more powerful than it earlier was.

    When you are working with resources which are accessed by multiple services or distributed services, more than often you need some kind of locking mechanism to make it possible to access some resources at a time.

It provides an easy-to-use API that resembles standard library's threading.Lock semantics. Apart from this, Sherlock gives you the flexibilty of using a backend of your choice (Etcd, Redis and Memcached) for managing locks. Sherlock is easy to extend to use backends that are not supported.
