Awesome profile visualisation

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

This is call profile graph of my latest invention, AwesomeProxy. This lets us move sites and databases between servers without a single failed HTTP request. Working on some optimisations, I wanted to see how much time was spent in each function call.

Gprof2Dot outputs pretty awesome graphs. This is what you get when you run AwesomeProxy for three minutes at 10 requests per second. I really like how you can see the structure of the code :)

I’ve just received our new logo from a friend of mine who’s also an awesome designer in Bristol and I think it looks great!

So here it is:

I’m excited about this because it means we’re starting to get a real corporate image, something we can put on business cards and letterheads!
