Today I continue to struggle with FlockDB and Thrift
Mile 27: Begin blogging the hard stuff
We at ____ have started assimilating Twitter technologies. It began great with the adoption of Kestrel to solve the ubiquitous queuing problem. This works wonderfully. Use Kestrel, it's great!
Now we have a new generalization from the good Robey of Twitter, FlockDB. These pointy birds squawking across the sky are supposed to solve a less Web-unanimous problem, how to scale a massive graph of social connections. They are also the cause of a great deal of death by a thousand pecks to yours truly.
As I am pretty frustrated with the product, and to be fair this is very bleeding-edge stuff, I've decided to blog my progress that it might help the community. But before getting to the promise land of FlockDB, I need to take a detour through Thrift-land.
