Ever try to build something new and exciting? Do you find yourself wondering what libraries and tools you should depend on? Always asking questions like: Should I use this (jquery|ruby|java) plugin, or that one?
Finding the best tool/library/gem/plugin shouldn't be that tough, and we will review simple analytics you can apply to any project to determine if a project is the right fit. Measurements can include things such as: commit frequency, test coverage, community activity, production examples, google hits, and many others.
Building the tweethopper job queue processing daemon proved to be problematic when trying to scale because we made the wrong choices when it came to tools and libraries. We will discuss the choices that were made and how we came to find better tools to facilitate more and more traffic.
