Storing time series statistics in Redis

Storing time series statistics in Redis: "After looking at various solutions including using Sorted Sets we decided we could get the best performance/space setup by breaking storing each API hit in a range of hashmaps representing different granularities of time (e.g. minutes, seconds…). Each hashmap would hold a suitable number of values to provide useful data at that granularity."

A comparison of various JS frameworks using cold hard data

A comparison of various JS frameworks using cold hard data: "Backbone is clearly reaching some sort of maturity, with few issues left open on Github, commit activity subsiding and some sort of stability being reached. It doesn't have the high number of core contributors of other projects but there are plenty of people willing to fix bugs still. The support rate on StackOverflow is about the same as the other projects and while it might be the most popular project on Github it doesn't have that many questions considering that huge size."
