It's been a long time since we didn't posted to our blog. I would like to answer to one of the questions we do receive frequently:
Yes, we are alive! :)
I think we need offer you some explanations, in 2012 I've became a father and this is the greatest experience of my life. While everything was running smoothly it kept me busy for a while.
We have great news, we deployed a new release with the following changes:
Platform
The new platform is based on Go and AngularJS which allows us to process your configuration files and deploy them to name servers much faster using a tiny fraction of the previous resources:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
10805 lua-srv 20 0 606m 18m 360 S 0.0 3.7 10:31.18 server
10834 lua-sbx 20 0 339m 11m 4 S 0.0 2.4 0:03.55 sandbox
10433 lua-wrk 20 0 396m 10m 468 S 0.0 2.1 0:00.10 worker
Web Interface
We are introducing an experimental web interface which allows you to edit records directly from browser. Although we still believe that git is the proper way of manage configuration files, some people find git requirement as a big barrier. The git workflow is now optional now.
Templates Directory
Previously the templates were stored in one file
(templates.lua) which is inconvenient if you have
multiple templates. With this release templates can
be group and stored in separate .lua files in
templates directory located in root of your git
repository (Thank you Graham!).
Removed Features
Due to low usage Amazon Route 53 integration was removed, high availability still can be achieved adding more slaves.
