**Brian Ketelsen:** ...it's still there. |
**Travis Reeder:** I wonder if it's dead though, now that Parse is dead. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That's a good question. |
**Erik St. Martin:** What was the other one that I got hooked on, Brian? The Cassandra one that was rewritten in C++? What's the name of that? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I can't remember now. |
**Erik St. Martin:** I'll think of it right after we end this show. But anyway Travis, if you haven't seen it, it's basically wire-compatible with Cassandra, but written in C++ instead of Java. |
**Travis Reeder:** Oh, wow. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, that was very cool. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Databases are Erik's crack. He can't put it down. |
**Erik St. Martin:** It's code generation for Brian, and databases for Erik. \[laughter\] You should see the list of databases Brian and I have looked at over the years. Different time series databases, databases that are written on the GPU... Just all kinds of stuff. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I still wanna see one of those work. There's so many hyped databases right now for GPU, but I haven't seen anybody release one that actually does anything. |
**Erik St. Martin:** What was the one... GPUdb? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** GPUdb. |
**Erik St. Martin:** And there was another one... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** There's another one... But at least from what I can tell, they both seem to be pretty close to vaporware. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Until somebody hears this episode and does something really cool with it. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, I'm waiting. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Please do... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** My email address is bketelsen@gmail.com Send me an email and prove to me that somebody is doing something with GPU databases. I don't believe it until I see it. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Alright... So what else do we have? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** So the last interesting Go project is an old one, but one that I've just started using recently, and found it to be about as awesome as a utility can be, and that's Syncthing. Their website is syncthing.net, and if you're familiar with any one of the peer-to-peer syncing tools like BitTorrent sync, ... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** That sounds amazing. |
**Erik St. Martin:** You're using this in place of, say Dropbox? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** It's not centralized storage, it's peer-to-peer storage, so each computer runs its own daemon, and they communicate with a centralized, distributed hash table sort of thing that helps each of the computers locate each other. But you have to have a client authorization, so nobody could just log in an... |
**Erik St. Martin:** And it works over the WAN? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** It does, it works anywhere. I don't know what technologies they're using, but I haven't run into any NAT-piercing problems or anything like that. It just works. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I'm trying to think of the alternative way to do this as far as writing code, because I want to put a repo on Dropbox or something like that, but the alternative to this, the way you're doing this, would be to push to the central repo all the time, and then pull it on your other machine. And this... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** It really is, it's slick. It cut down the number of crazy branches I've had to push to drastically, because if I'm not ready to commit something to a repository, as long as it's saved on my disk, it syncs to another computer and I'm good. I'm really enjoying the workflow; I'm probably doing somethin... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Alright. So let's move on and we'll rope Travis in here a little bit. He's on the show, we should probably talk to him a little bit, huh? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Well Travis, did you have any interesting projects that you've seen recently that kind of piqued your interest, whether they're Go related or utilities? |
**Travis Reeder:** Yeah, one that I've been looking at pretty closely is Caddy. It's like a web server/reverse proxy, with Let's Encrypt built in, and things like that. It seems pretty cool, I haven't had a chance to really use it, but I'm very interested in it because we have a want or a need to have some kind of prox... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I can tell you that all of the Gopher Academy and the Gopher Academy Blog and GopherCon websites are all served behind Caddy, and have been since something like April of last year when it was in its earliest possible releases, and we absolutely love it. It couldn't be easier to use Caddy. |
**Travis Reeder:** Yeah. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Brian went all super beta on it, just like you guys did with Go. He's like "It compiles, I'm deploying it." \[laughter\] |
**Travis Reeder:** Yeah, it's nice. The only thing I was kind of hoping would be more programmatic, I was trying to sort of be able to pull in all of the internals, and use it in a nice interface, \[cross-talk 00:21:05.28\] It's more web-server-driven at this point, where you need the config file and what not. I was ho... |
**Erik St. Martin:** It should be embeddable now. I know Matt has been working a lot on making it embeddable. I think it is now. I know they've been abstracting out some of the components, because Miek Gieben, he's working on CoreDNS, which is like a DNS server that's taking a lot of concepts from Caddy that he really ... |
**Travis Reeder:** Yeah, I was actually talking to Matt Holt, and the pieces that I was looking for - proxy and backend and stuff like that - wasn't programmed yet; you had to basically generate a config file and then restart it. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Oh... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Oh... |
**Travis Reeder:** But I imagine we'll get there. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** All you have to do is whisper in Matt's ear and in a day or two it's gonna show up in Caddy, so... |
**Travis Reeder:** Well hopefully it does; that was a couple weeks ago, I think. Maybe you guys can whisper it too, and it will happen faster. \[laughter\] Another one that is not too exciting but I've been really liking is Viper. It's basically like command line tools, and pulling in environment variable and config fi... |
**Erik St. Martin:** And you can override one with the other so that it defaults back to something the same. |
**Travis Reeder:** Yeah. We've been using that all over the place now, it's kind of become a default. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That's really cool. Have you tried the remote configuration for Viper yet? |
**Travis Reeder:** I have not, no. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I added that I think last year. I love Viper. I think it's really awesome. We used the remote config as the baseline configuration. So things that every machine, every app needs to know comes from etcd and then you can just layer on extra stuff on top of that, and it worked out really nicely. |
**Travis Reeder:** That's cool, yeah. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I wanted to mention that I had never written any command line tool before I found out about Go and started learning Go, and I think it's just amazing, having Cobra and Viper. People, if you haven't tried it, you're gonna get addicted to it. |
**Erik St. Martin:** And I think all of those came out of Steve's bigger project, which is Hugo. |
