I've heard that the app was useful to refresh people's memory when doing contact tracing, but as the cases went down quickly after the app was released then it might not have been a gamechanger.
Just wanted to let you guys know if you are considering using it. We are still using all of the OnDemand tools on a daily basis and our frustration is growing. There have been threads about the issue open for more than a year and we opened a support ticket, but it got closed with a link to an issue that is being looked into by a developer. Looking at ‘developer tools’ shows that Atlassian are generating a huge javascript and stylesheet which is taking up all the time - which they claim only happens the first time, but this seems to be causing slow page-loads (10-30sec+) periodically throughout their OnDemand suite - which is very frustrating when trying to use their Wiki system (Confluence) or browsing tickets in Jira.
If we would start from scratch, I would just go for something more lightweight like Google Docs, Trello and perhaps Workflowy.
Exactly! I started playing with Go a few days ago, and immediately started thinking that this would be the perfect language to create something like LogStash, Flume or SplunkAgents in - and install to the machines that need to forward data to our centralised logging system.
It really bugs me that I have to have an Python interpeter on the frontend web machines (cause I would prefer not to have a C compiler there)..
post benchmarks cause the python community love those, and make it work nicely with gevent. Just make a little hello world Flask app and show us how it performs.
I use Passenger for my Ruby projects, but use nginx with gunicorn for Python - no reason behind that choice whatsoever except that is the stack that I found nice blog articles on how to get working with gevent
the app is open source of people are interested; https://github.com/aranja/rakning-c19-app
