#IGR is back for 2023 with more #india GameReviews!
This week Aereyn covers #IndieGame #Zookeeper a low poly resource and time management gig that has lots of great animals to visit but sometimes feels just like real work. Read the full review at

Keep it fun #indieDevs !

Blockchains won't end imperialism or radically reform the mortgage industry. They _might_ change the shape of these things, but it will be by degrees at most. The same way imperialism has changed to adapt to everything else.

#ZooKeeper and #Cassandra have many real uses and even mongo seems to have gotten their act together, but PSQL and MSSQL are still going on strong, and tools like Spanner and BigQuery rely heavily on SQL.

#ActivityPub is fine for what it is, but interop is always bespoke

3 node cluster back in business, with #Spark, #Zookeeper & #Kafka all tested and confirmed as up and running.

Now all I have to do is code up this tweet pipeline with ETL, a bloom filter, and analytics built in.😓

In 2012, a #zookeeper in China licked a monkey’s anus for an hour in order to save the monkey’s life. The monkey had become dangerously constipated after consuming a peanut that had been tossed into its enclosure. Because the #monkey was too young for laxatives, they had to resort to this measure.

I swear 90% of the time when I run into people who have had bad experiences with #ZooKeeper it is because they were doing something truly eldritch and evil with it and not because they were doing something it was actually designed to do.

"We used ZK for message passing"

"We stored 10 MB config files in it."

"We decided it wasn't sufficiently performant to use the patterns and so wrote our own."

"We check it ten thousand times a second to see if the value changed"

Like just… why.

On the other end of the spectrum we could set up like this, with everything in separate boxes:

1. #CloudArmor as a WAF
2. A #CDN
3. #nginx as a reverse proxy.
4. #Vertx as an HTTP server.
5. #Memcached for caching
6. #RabbitMQ as a queue system.
7. Vertx EventBus as a controller.
8. Verticles as processors, run on a cluster.
9. #PSQL for a database and post store
10. #GCS for media storage and backups.
11. #Solr for search.
12. #ZooKeeper for coordination of Solr an Vertx.

Here we go - a quick write up on how I built this little #zookeeper cluster on #raspberrypi

All in all, a pleasant afternoon’s work.

2) Redpanda - written in C++ streaming database, supports Kafka API with 10x faster performance without additional load like a Zookeeper and smaller memory footprint.
Uses Seastar asynchronous framework and Raft algorithm for consensus.

I used to be a #zookeeper and #VeterinaryTechnician before becoming a #DogTrainer, #CatTrainer, #PetTrainer. Where are y'all?
