**Asim Aslam:** We can drop in some other topics that are on the list. I think the interesting one was CoreOS. It just came out with the distributed storage system which would be kind of cool to talk about quickly. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, Torus, right? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah. I'm super excited about that one. |
**Asim Aslam:** Yeah. This is interesting. What do you think Brian? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I'm crazy excited about it. One of the biggest problems I've always had with any of the orchestration platforms - Kubernetes, Mesos, whatever - is storage. What do you do with storage when you've got a relatively small cluster and you don't have some sort of block storage, especially as an enterpris... |
**Asim Aslam:** Yeah. I'm excited to see them actually tackle this. I know it's going to be a hard one to get right, but having seen the work that they've done on Etcd, I believe they'll be able to do it and in time with people who have that kind of experience is going to be really good. |
\[47:54\] As someone mentioned, the Hacker News comments weren't very kind. I think we need to be optimist and we need to be supportive. I think this is really good for the entire kind of tech community as a whole. I think everyone's a little bit like "Oh, I wanted to write a distributed storage system. Why do they hav... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, I mean anytime something new like that comes out people, you know... And CoreOS kind of gets the brunt of it too, because they're trying to innovate and they're trying to do things differently and I think they catch some slack for it too, the whole rocket thing... Many of these things are fan... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I wanted to mention something super quickly. Tom Maiaroto was asking for a review on the Reviews channel on Gopher Slack of this tool, it's a young project called [Discfg](https://github.com/tmaiaroto/discfg) and it's a tool for a distributed serverless configuration tool for using AWS services. ... |
**Erik St. Martin:** It's open source. Competition is good. That's why. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Alright. Did anybody else have anything they want to touch on? Any closing notes about Micro, especially? Because that's definitely one of the most exciting things we've talked about here. |
**Asim Aslam:** I'll just say, thanks for having me on the show and being able to talk about this. Please do try Micro if you're interested in building microservices. Come join the Slack and kind of talk about it. I'm looking for people to help contribute to the OSS kind of project. If you're interested in building the... |
**Erik St. Martin:** And we're happy to have you on the show. |
**Asim Aslam:** Thanks. |
**Erik St. Martin:** And one of the things we'd like to do too is we like to kind of briefly kind of round table it and go around and thank an open source project we are thankful for, just because I think we all need to do a better job showing support and love to open source projects. And today you get to go show some ... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Right. It's a good way to go. Alright, I'll start off with my \#FreeSoftwareFriday thank you. Mine's actually a bigger than a single open source project... I'd like to thank CoreOS for innovating and creating really unique solutions; CoreOS Linux specifically is probably one of the most amazing Linu... |
**Erik St. Martin:** How about you, Carlisia? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Well, today we talked about stateless computing and my pick is State Management for Go, a tool for Go backend applications. It's a tool by Luis Vinicius, it's called Godux. It's also a young project, but it seems promising. I'll definitely use it if I needed to manage states. |
**Erik St. Martin:** That's great. Asim, you can't cheat, you cannot say Micro. You can go with anybody but Micro. |
**Asim Aslam:** \[52:02\] It's good, I have one... This is a bit of a throwback, so this thanks to Postfix, the SMTP server. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Nice. |
**Asim Aslam:** Back in the day when I was a sys admin we used to do bulk emails. We were sending half a million emails an hour and I kind of managed upwards of a hundred instances of Postfix and it made it really easy to kind of configure and manage SMTP. |
So I'm really grateful for that piece of software, because it meant I didn't have to use Sendmail and if anyone has used Sendmail, you know how painful that is. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Sendmail - never. So for me I haven't really been using anything new that I haven't already mentioned, except VLC, so I'm going to give shout out to VLC, because that is making my life easier. I definitely would not want to write VLC. I don't think I'm quite qualified for that, either. |
Alright, so I think we've made it all the way around. I definitely want to congratulate the panel and definitely Asim, for coming on the show and talking to us about Micro and serverless. Time got away really fast. I wish we had more time to talk about this. |
We will definitely link to the project and the Slack and anywhere else we can find Micro on the internet for everybody in the show notes. They should be posted on Twitter, if not now in a little bit. They will be on Twitter for the live listeners and in the Slack channel. Come find us on Twitter @GoTimeFM. You can go t... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** You've got it. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I think you did well. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Alright. |
**Asim Aslam:** That was great. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Thanks, everybody. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Thanks, everybody. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** This was fun, thanks. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Thanks guys. |
