Web Engineering

So we're working on the One Campaign, and MaryMary has quite a few things to say about it. One thing she won't say is that I'm hosting it in my Internet Complex...

These kinds of things come up all of the sudden. Having a strong network archtecture and good rules around deployments helps get you through the nastiness of a deployment like this - very little defined until pretty much you have to be live and running.

I credit a great ops team... Built from scratch, these guys rock. We've tuned the deployment cycle to about 4 hours - that's landing a machine here in my lab (in boxes) to being outside at our hosting location, installed, secured and app up and running. Including the 40 minute drive, installing in the rack, wiring, everything. Pretty good if you ask me.

Of course, I keep asking why we're not getting any freakin' tickets... Heck, the worker bees never get squat... Other than the satisfaction of a job well done. Yeah, that and a quarter won't buy you a cup of coffee
