That's what the Prometheus push gateway is for. While prom itself is poll-based, you can extract data from servers behind a firewall by pushing metrics from an agent into the gateway. No crazy issues.

You should have posted to HN once that was published. A feature list isn't an API.

This is kind of an annoying format for answering questions. You can't see the context and it breaks the conversation thread.

Tests would be good, too.

WordPress is doing pretty well with no tests!

WP has tests, they are not perfect but they exist.

Wordpress has zillion of tests.WP real problem is its architecture but since its authors want to support legacy PHP versions it's not going to change.

Yes. http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/2267/stack-overflow-...

To be clear: there is no version of the actual Stack Overflow code that is publicly available. There are, however, numerous open-source reimplementations of portions of the site code.

Also (as the video perhaps mentioned), the Stack Overflow developers have often been able to spin off pieces of the code as open-source libraries. See http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2012/02/stack-exchange-open-so...

You posted the same two problems in two different areas of the thread. As mentioned here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6763780), your first assertion is incorrect. Page loads do take longer, but you also win being able to support multiple frontends (consumer facing web, backend management web, mobile apps, desktop apps, other services, etc) much easier than if you had to maintain server-side rendering as well as an API. After the first page load, however, you're transferring far less data and will be loading pages much quicker. Sure, if you have a mostly static site, it's not worthwile, but if your app is highly personalized, this is a great direction to go.

They told me they shipped my OUYA (to Minnesota) over a month ago. It still hasn't arrived and I'm starting to suspect it never will.
