I recently had a chance to speak about rqlite, the distributed, lightweight database built on SQLite, at the University of Pittsburgh Computer Science Club. It was a good evening as I spoke about distributed systems, the problems they solve, and how rqlite…
Go remains one of the languages I’m most productive in. Its combination of the rigour of static typing, but fluidity of Python, makes it both robust and easy to code in. It’s also got some innovative features that help you…
I’ve moved continuous testing of rqlite to CircleCI 2.0. The initial work I did with hraftd was helpful, though rqlite was definitely more involved. Testing is significantly quicker with the new, container-based, version of CircleCI, which should help noticeably with…
