EtherCalc Chapter for the upcoming book "The Performance of Open Source Applications" - Draft - comments welcome!

From SocialCalc to EtherCalc

Previously, in The Architecture of Open Source Applications, I described SocialCalc, an in-browser spreadsheet system that replaced the server-centric WikiCalc architecture. SocialCalc performs all of its computations in the browser; it uses the server only for loading and saving spreadsheets.

For the Socialtext team, performance was the primary goal behind SocialCalc's design in 2006. The key observation was this: Client-side computation in JavaScript, while an order of magnitude slower than server-side computation in Perl, was still much faster than the network latency incurred during AJAX roundtrips:

Backport WebSocket to Apache 2.2 that doesn't modify the 'mod_utils.c' and the 'mod_proxy.h'. See the 'README.md' for details and instructions.

Backport WebSocket to Apache 2.2

This is my variation from the original patch and that also includes the suggested correction for the bug with secure websocket 'wss://'.

The difference is that I avoid modifying the mod_utils.c and the mod_proxy.h so that if the mod_proxy module has been embedded in the main httpd binary then it will work and you won't get the

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

  • -E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
  • -l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)
