Usage

Stampy is used to log time differences. You could use it to profile time-consuming operations.

Note that the first .log() begins the starting timestamp. Consecutive .log() just prints the diff from the last timestamp.

var stampy = require('stampy');

Transactions API

To perform transactions use the dirac.tx api. Dirac defaults to using client pooling per request. So a single client must be used over the lifespan of a transaction. The tx will fetch one for you and release it upon .commit().

A dirac tx object has access to the same DALs in addition to transactional commands.
