# We have something called a PartialCalculator in the code
# for calculating some health related parameters.
#
# The PartialCalculator works like this -
#
#  - take an input hash
#  - merge the given data with some standard values
#  - calls a FullCalculator with the values (in the overall method)

A Git process

• Developer creates a new branch for every bug-fix or feature
• Feature branch is always created from master
• Developer watches master branch for changes. If another team member updates the master, she updates feature branch too.
• Feature branches are updated using rebase, not by merging
• Developer deploys the feature branch for demo/QA
• Another team member reviews code in the feature branch
• After demo and review passes, developer squash-merges the feature branch in her master, and pushes to the origin master
• For production-deployment, developer sets a tag on the origin/master, and deploys using the tag

The meet-up began with an introductory talk about the host company by Mithin. After that we went into the first talk, Speed up Mongo, by Gaurav Shah. The talk was about various lessons learned about Mongo performance in production. The talk also spawned many minor discussions via which we went into some other nitty-gritties of Mongo-Db. The slides are worth a look if you are planning to use Mongo for a project, and are curious about scaling.

The second talk was on Fraud Detection and Prevention in Ecommerce by Ketan Jain. This talk was about the many techniques that Postmark and similar companies apply to check fraud. An interesting and relatable talk, as many scenarios discussed are applicable in In
