rqlite
is a lightweight, open-source, distributed relational database written in Go, which uses SQLite as its storage engine.
Recently I helped Replicated replace their use of PostgreSQL with rqlite. This brought much easier operation and high-availability to their Application Manager.
I recently started reading Building Secure and Reliable Systems, which was authored by various folks at Google (some of whom I know). Since my work is at the intersection of so much of this — reliable logging systems which must also be secure, it’s an interesting read.
In my experience, the most challenging part about securing our systems are the constant trade-offs one needs to make. Since no system can be made 100% secure, knowing where the marginal risk is no longer worth addressing is quite difficult — I’m hoping this book improves my ability to make these trade-offs correctly.

Sit down with any developer today, even those at pretty new software companies, and you’ll see them doing something that programmers have been doing for years — you’ll see them tailing log files.
But why? Why are we still tailing logs?

There have been a series of releases recently, which make deployment on Linux even easier, and significantly decrease the Docker footprint.

I recently took part in the GCP Podcast, along with my colleague Reed Taylor. On the podcast we spoke about Cloud Logging, which is GCP‘s centralized Logging product, and has released lots of new features to help customers meet their Compliance and Regulatory needs.
