How to set up stress-free SSL on an OS X development machine

One of the best ways to reduce complexity (read: stress) in web development is to minimize the differences between your development and production environments. After being frustrated by attempts to unify the approach to SSL on my local machine and in production, I searched for a workflow that would make the protocol invisible to me between all environments.

Most workflows make the following compromises:

• Use HTTPS in production but HTTP locally. This is annoying because it makes the environments inconsistent, and the protocol choices leak up into the stack. For example, your web application needs to understand the underlying protocol when using the secure flag for cookies. If you don't get this right, your HTTP development server won't be able to read the cookies it writes, or worse, your HTTPS production server could pass sensitive cookies over an insecure connection.

• Use production SSL certificates locally. This is annoying

MDB is unlike most debuggers you've experienced.

It is not a source level debugger like gdb or lldb or even Node's builtin debugger

Generally used for postmortem analysis.

Postmortem is for Production and Development

We operate mostly on core files, though you can attach to running processes as well.

Internet Scale Services Checklist

A checklist for designing and developing internet scale services, inspired by James Hamilton's 2007 paper "On Desgining and Deploying Internet-Scale Services."

• http://mvdirona.com/jrh/talksandpapers/jamesrh_lisa.pdf

Basic tenets

• Does the design expect failures to happen regularly and handle them gracefully?
• Have we kept things as simple as possible?

Multitenancy refers to a principle in software architecture where a single instance of the software runs on a server, serving multiple client-organizations (tenants)

Let's start by enumerating some multi tenant applications and understand how they handle it.

# This script will mount /Users in the boot2docker VM using NFS (instead of the

# Usage: sudo ./boot2docker-use-nfs.sh
