  • Django tip: Caching and two-phased template rendering | Holovaty.com
    Notes
    "It's a clever solution because you end up defining what doesn't get cached instead of what does get cached. It's a sideways way of looking at the problem -- sort of like how Django's template inheritance system defines which parts of the page change instead of defining server-side includes of the common bits."

  • Beware of the Dog | JoeDog / Siege
    Notes
    "Siege is an http regression testing and benchmarking utility. It was designed to let web developers measure the performance of their code under duress, to see how it will stand up to load on the internet. Siege supports basic authentication, cookies, HTTP and HTTPS protocols. It allows the user hit a web server with a configurable number of concurrent simulated users. Those users place the webserver "under siege." "

  • Code: Flickr Developer Blog » Flickr Engineers Do It Offline
    Notes
    "It seems that using queuing systems in web apps is the new hottness . While the basic idea itself certainly isn’t new, its application to modern, large, scalable sites seems to be. At the very least, it’s something that deserves talking about — so here’s how Flickr does it, to the tune of 11 million tasks a day."
