static website on AWS. They all offer the same general solution with maybe some
caveat. Route53 for DNS, CloudFront as a CDN to speed up content delivery, S3

Redis streams as a pure data structure
The new Redis data structure introduced in Redis 5 under the name of “Streams” generated quite some interest in the community. Soon or later I want to run a community survey, talking with users having production use cases, and blogging about it. Today I want to address anothe...
C++ iostreams: Unexpected but legal multithreaded behaviour
In previous articles, I’ve waxed rhapsodic about how great C++ is. I also noted there however that every language, C++ included, has its dark sides. Some languages have an unavoidable pervasive dark side, like being slow or hard to multithread, for C++ that dark side is mostly its complexity. In this post I want to zoom in on a specific ‘gotcha’ that recently took me several hours to resolve. I wrote this piece so anyone running into the same issue might find out about it if they search the web.

UCNB

In it core this is just an SMTP server with some logic to forward eMails to other resources. This was initially built to forward notifications to IFTTT so that they trigger notifications in a phone, but it is possible to use this project for many other purposes.

Gopher: a present for Redis
Ten years ago Redis was announced on Hacker News, and I use this as virtual birthdate for the project, simply because it is more important when it was announced to the public than the actual date of the project first line of code (think at it conception VS actual birth in ani...
An update about Redis developments in 2019
Yesterday a concerned Redis user wrote the following on Hacker News:

What I Did in 2018
This is a more personal post than I usually write, and it was prompted by several people asking what I had been up to lately. It turns out that it is somewhat of a story. It is a long story too. Since the beginning of 2018 day to day management of PowerDNS is now truly in the hands of professionals. I’m very proud to report that PowerDNS has not only survived the transition to Open-Xchange but is actually thriving & has achieved sufficient revenues & talented staff that we’ve solved the famous open source “what if Bert gets hit by a bus” problem.
