We’re reminded this week of how long-lasting and impactful our contributions can be as we celebrate CentOS turning 15 years old this week! As a contributor to CentOS since the beginning, Tag1’s very own Jeff Sheltren was interviewed by TheCentOSProject to reflect on his involvement. Summary below the video clip: Jeff first started working with CentOS when migrating away from Solaris while working at University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) (2004/2005) Jeff wrote one of...

One-Time Passwords
In this blog we’re going to build upon what we started previously by adding two-factor authentication. We’ll learn more about what that means and how it works. We’ll leverage the Django OTP library to fully support TOTP devices, also offering emergency codes for when users lose their phones.

Powering A Single Page App
We’ve helped build many interesting websites at Tag1. Historically, we started as a Drupal shop in 2007, heavily involved in the ongoing development of that popular PHP-based CMS. We also design and maintain the infrastructures on which many of these websites run. That said, we’ve long enjoyed applying our knowledge and skills for building sustainable and high-performing systems to different technologies as well. In this blog series, we’re going to build a backend API server...

They just aren't that concerning in the singular. Likewise, load applied from a single point to a moderately complicated infrastructure is both easy to block (or rate limit) and also not very representative of a real world situation. (Aside from the people you inevitably end up talking to who...

Say Goodbye To Apache JMeter
Apache JMeter and I have a long and complicated relationship. It is definitely a trusted and valuable tool, but I am also quite confident that certain parts of it will make an appearance in my particular circle of hell. Due to this somewhat uncomfortable partnership, I am always interested in new tools for applying load to an infrastructure and monitoring the results. Locust.io is not exactly a new tool, but I have only recently begun...

Engineering Versions at Scale
After a long hiatus, we're back! When we left off last fall, we were looking at the mechanics of version comparison. In this post, we'll get into more practical matters: the approach we actually took to building out Tag1 Quo's version management system. When we started working on Quo, we knew that we were going to lean heavily on versions for pretty much all aspects of the system’s functionality. Many of the individual requests arriving...
