Still loving it here at NBC. But only when I feel that I contribute. I am creating some advanced caching capabilities on top of the Clickablity platform. Not the easiest thing to complete. And not the easiest platform to work with. But after a few days of digging in, sweating, and thinking creatively, I was able to create a clean solution that works! Nice. A failover cache. Get that! If the cache has an incorrect status, it tries a previous version. Nice. I like that.
The benefit? I think we’re getting a really nice speedup in page load. External values are loaded once every 2 hours.
The drawback? It’s a new solution. I don’t really have the time to test it out. But it’s also because of that that it made this project really interesting. I did accomplish my goal! I released it to stage.
