Major Core Upgrades
Wednesday, May 16th, 2007I’m currently working on some significant core upgrades to FeedBlendr that will also allow the service to start scaling towards some of the other tools that I’m going to be rolling out. These changes affect pretty much everything internally, and will allow me to add a few new features, and to build out the other tools faster>
- New, standardized Caching framework (that will hopefully not cause more problems!)
- Improved database connection handling (this will allow me to more easily use slave DBs etc when required)
- Standardized and centralized “auto-discovery” class for locating feeds
- Improved and generalized HTTP class, customized to handle everything I need and nothing I don’t
- Totally separate “format conversion” layer for doing output in Serialized PHP, JS, JSON etc – some cool things can happen here!
I’m really excited about these changes (and some others that I’m still working on). This is the next step in ramping up towards the rest of the Feedville family. Keep an eye on this blog for more info!
Oh — and in response to my previous post about moving to Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud and Simple Storage Service, I got a few questions about my experiences etc, so I’ll be writing up another quick post summarizing it all soon.
