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

Redis Pain - Matt @mranney from Voxer (did node-redis)
	* Asked to talk about redis stress points.. "no stress, things work for a while and there is no stress and then... you enter a world of pain."
	* Pain from how we use it at Voxer. Explanation of Voxer and its use cases.
	* People assume Voxer is "how hard can it be?".. "That's how it used to be until we got a bunch of pictures..."
	* Growth curve looks like Pinterests "might be the same because there was no label on the y-axis.. might be EXACTLY the same."
	* Computers are hard... nothing works as it is supposed to... and eventually you fly into nerd rage and then you become a curmmudgeon... getting serious, this isn't real pain -- we aren't selling stree sheets -- this are great problems to have...
	* They use redis as cache for Riak, also for rapidly changing data, "data we can afford to lose", throttling, NO SAVING.
	* "We really like redis."
	* "When we first started building voxer, I never understood why people use Redis at all... we have a db and .
