Management @ PlanetScale

We want PlanetScale to be the best place to work. But every company says that, and very few deliver. Managers have a role in creating an amazing work experience, but things go awry when the wrong dynamic creeps in.

We have all seen those managers who collect people as “resources” or who control information as a way to gain “power.” In these cultures, people who “can’t” end up leading the charge. This is management mediocrity.

What will make us different? At PlanetScale, we won’t tolerate management mediocrity. We are building a culture where politics get you nowhere and impact gets you far. Managers are here to support people who get things done. They are as accountable to their team as their team is accountable to them.

We evaluate managers on the wellbeing and output of their team, how skillfully they collaborate with and influence others, and how inclusively and transparently they work.

You can expect your manager to:

  • Perceive a better version of you and support you in getting there

This is a sample of how to send some information to logstash via the TCP input from node.js or python.

This is a sample of how to send some information to logstash via the TCP input in nodejs or python. It assumes the logstash host is on 10.10.10.100 and the TCP listening input is 9563.

The logstash.conf should look something like the sample file.

The log message should be a stringified JSON object with the log message in the @message field.

To use, run the node script node sendMessageToLogstash.js, or the python script python sendMessageToLogstash.js
