  10. What do you use for service discovery?

    There's a ton of choices out there - etcd, zookeeper, and more. What are some of the pitfalls I should be aware of? Should I keep things simple and roll my own using Redis backed by sentinel/clustering?

    What's the common practice for A/B testing on ios? Do you release an app with all the possible variants and toggle them selectively for the users? Any one know of a service that lets me do this easily?

    Earlier this year Ruby had a few security notices. If I wasn't reading HN, I wouldn't have known to check. What does everyone use to alert them about these important events?
