La prueba definitiva

Aterricé ayer a las 19:30 de la tarde después de un vuelo que tuvo de todo menos espacio para estirar las piernas. De todas formas, la experiencia ha sido muy estimulante.

Estas son las dos fotos que demuestran que me he pasado en Boston una semana, hechas en los lugares claves :)

Emergency Recovery Script from Couchbase disaster

Today, I dealt with a totally broken installation of Couchbase 2.0.0 Developer Preview. I couldn't find why but, although views were returning the right results, when I tried to retrieve a single document, I was getting the error below: { "error": "badrpc", "reason": "{'EXIT',{{{badmatch,{error,closed}}, [{mc_client_binary,cmd_binary_vocal_recv,5}, {mc_client_binary,get_meta,3}, {ns_memcached,do_handle_call,3}, {gen_server,handle_msg,5}, {proc_lib,init_p_do_apply,3}]}, {gen_server,call, [{'ns_memcached-$data-default','ns...@127.0.0.1'}, {get_meta,<>,37}, 30000]}}}" } This is taken from Network Monitor panel on Chrome.

Diseño y comités

Una conversación que mantuve ayer con Helena Solà , creativa en una de las empresas de publicidad más importantes del país, me recordó una frase que me dijeron hace bastantes años (como 10 o así): Un camello es un caballo diseñado por un comité de expertos --- UPDATE --- Vaya tela tiene el mundillo blogger. Buscando la fuente original de la frase en google, me he ido a encontrar con http://multimaniaco.wordpress.com/ y resulta que en él aparecen comentarios de laquenoencuentrasusitio :) --- END UPDATE ---

Creating an e-commerce platform with Couchbase 2.0

Image
For the last couple of months, I’ve been involved in the development of an e-commerce website named http://presive.com , focused on beautiful, unique products created by designers all over the world with a story behind. When I first met @swilera , @eoingalla and @cmgottschalk , the idea seemed so interesting to me that I got involved in the project really fast. And then, in a few weeks, we had the first release of presive.com. We created it using Python, Django, Satchmo and running on the top of a PostgreSQL database engine and it worked well for some weeks, until we started developing the first business-level report queries. The whole object-relational stack the product was based on wasn’t enough at all for our purposes, so a technological change was needed. And then, we moved to Couchbase. At first, I was quite skeptical on the power of NoSQL databases, but I soon changed my mind when I visit couchbase and read everything about it . So let’s start on the conceptual model (yes, I am...
