A Trip to the New Wild Wild West
summary
Builds a single‑page web app with Chicago Boss, AngularJS and Bootstrap, and measures outcomes: first month shows 27 hours downtime then tweaks cut outages to about one to two hours. Hits include a homemade SQL-escaping bug that crashes queries, an old Poolboy dependency using exit kill, leaking processes from long‑poll timeouts, and a bracket conflict between server templates and Angular that is solved by changing delimiters. Moves heavy work to RabbitMQ and considers swapping to Cowboy for stability.
