Vagrant is a tool for building and distributing virtualized development environments.

By providing automated creation and provisioning of virtual machines using Oracle’s VirtualBox, Vagrant provides the tools to create and configure lightweight, reproducible, and portable virtual environments.

Apdex is a numerical measure of user satisfaction with the performance of enterprise applications. It converts many measurements into one number on a uniform scale of 0-to-1 (0 = no users satisfied, 1 = all users satisfied). This metric can be applied to any source of end-user performance measurements. If you have a measurement tool that gathers timing data similar to what a motivated end-user could gather with a stopwatch, then you can use this metric. Apdex fills the gap between timing data and insight by specifying a uniform way to measure and report on the user experience.

The index translates many individual response times, measured at the user-task level, into a single number. A Task is an individual interaction with the system, within a larger process. Task response time is defined as the elapsed time between when a user does something (mouse click, hits enter or return, etc) and when the system (client, network, servers) responds such that the user can proceed with the process. This is the time during which the human is waiting for the system. These individual waiting periods are what define the "responsiveness" of the application to the user.

OpenTSDB is a distributed, scalable Time Series Database (TSDB) written on top of HBase. OpenTSDB was written to address a common need: store, index and serve metrics collected from computer systems (network gear, operating systems, applications) at a large scale, and make this data easily accessible and graphable. Thanks to HBase's scalability, OpenTSDB allows you to collect many thousands of metrics from thousands of hosts and applications, at a high rate (every few seconds). OpenTSDB will never delete or downsample data and can easily store billions of data points. As a matter of fact, StumbleUpon uses it to keep track of hundred of thousands of time series and collects over 100 million data points per day in their main production cluster.

Imagine having the ability to quickly plot a graph showing the number of active worker threads in your web servers, the number of threads used by your database, and correlate this with your service's latency (example below). OpenTSDB makes generating such graphs on the fly a trivial operation, while manipulating millions of data point for very fine grained, real-time monitoring.

Redisql is a lightweight SQL server AND Redisql is built on top of the NOSQL datastore redis, supports redis data-structures and redis commands and supports (de)normalisation of these data structures (lists,sets,hash-tables) to/from SQL tables. Redisql can also easily import/export tables to/from Mysql for Data-warehousing. Redisql is not only a data storage Swiss Army Knife, it is also extremely fast and extremely memory efficient.

Speed is achieved by being an event driven network server that stores ALL data in RAM and achieves disk persistence by using a spare cpu-core to periodically log data changes (i.e. no threads, no locks, no undo-logs, serving data over a network at RAM speed) Storage data structures w/ very low memory overhead and data compression, via algorithms w/ insignificant performance hits, greatly increase the amount of data you can fit in RAM Your hard disk's swap is utilised when your data can no longer fit in RAM. In this mode, performance is not negatively effected, if rarely-used data sits idle in swap. Redisql can use 100% of your RAM for storage and still provide disk persistence. Optimising to the SQL statements most commonly used in OLTP workloads yields a lightweight SQL server designed for low latency at high concurrency (i.e. mindblowing speed).

SystemTap provides free software (GPL) infrastructure to simplify the gathering of information about the running Linux system. This assists diagnosis of a performance or functional problem. SystemTap eliminates the need for the developer to go through the tedious and disruptive instrument, recompile, install, and reboot sequence that may be otherwise required to collect data.

SystemTap provides a simple command line interface and scripting language for writing instrumentation for a live running kernel. We are publishing samples, as well as enlarging the internal "tapset" script library to aid reuse and abstraction.

Among other tracing/probing tools, SystemTap is the tool of choice for complex tasks that may require live analysis, programmable on-line response, and whole-system symbolic access. SystemTap can also handle simple tracing jobs.

The Marionette Collective aka. mcollective is a framework to build server orchestration or parallel job execution systems.

Mcollective’s primary use is to programmatically execute actions on clusters of servers. In this regard it operates in the same space as tools like Func, Fabric or Capistrano.

By not relying on central inventories and tools like SSH, it’s not simply a fancy SSH “for loop”. MCollective uses modern tools like Publish Subscribe Middleware and modern philosophies like real time discovery of network resources using meta data and not hostnames. Delivering a very scalable and very fast parallel execution environment.

The focus is on catering to the needs of enterprises and large deploys. Pluggable Authentication, Authorization and Auditing capabilities sets it apart from other tools in this space.

Features provided in the capistrano-ext gem allows you to setup multiple environments within your deploy.rb file giving you the ability to run commands such as:

cap development deploy:migrations or

cap production deploy:migrations and have your application deploy to the different environments properly. This document provides you instructions on how to properly accomplish this.

Behat is an open source behavior driven development framework for php 5.3.

Behat was inspired by Ruby's Cucumber project and especially it's syntax part (Gherkin). It tries to be like Cucumber with input (Feature files) and output (console formatters), but in core, it built from the ground on the shoulders of giants:

Symfony Dependency Injection component Symfony Event Dispatcher component Symfony Console component Symfony Finder component Unlike any other php testing framework that tests applications inside out. Behat is testing applications outside in. It means, that Behat works only with your application's input/output. If you want to test your models - use unit testing framework instead, Behat created for behavior testing (but can be used for anything +) ).

Also, there's symfony plugin for Behat, so you can start testing your applications right now.

Celery is an asynchronous task queue/job queue based on distributed message passing. It is focused on real-time operation, but supports scheduling as well.

The execution units, called tasks, are executed concurrently on a single or more worker servers. Tasks can execute asynchronously (in the background) or synchronously (wait until ready).

Celery is already used in production to process millions of tasks a day.

Celery is written in Python, but the protocol can be implemented in any language. It can also operate with other languages using webhooks.

Ubuntu JeOS (pronounced "Juice") is an efficient variant of the Ubuntu Server operating system, configured specifically for virtual appliances. It is no longer available as a CD image for download. Now you can install it with either:

the Ubuntu Server Edition installation CD by pressing F4 and choosing "Install a minimal virtual machine", or Ubuntu's vmbuilder, as described here. JeOS is a specialized installation of Ubuntu Server Edition with a tuned kernel that contains only the base elements needed to run within a virtualized environment.

Foreman is aimed to be a Single Address For All Machines Life Cycle Management.

Foreman integrates with Puppet (and acts as web front end to it). Foreman takes care of bare bone provisioning until the point puppet is running, allowing Puppet to do what it does best. Foreman shows you Systems Inventory (based on Facter) and provides real time information about hosts status based on Puppet reports. Foreman creates everything you need when adding a new machine to your network,It's goal being automatically managing everything you would normally manage manually - that would eventually include DNS, DHCP, TFTP, PuppetCA, CMDB and everything else you might consider useful. With Foreman You Can Always Rebuild Your Machines From Scratch! Foreman is designed to work in a large enterprise, where multiple domains, subnets and puppetmasters are required. In many cases, Foreman could help remote provisions where no experienced technicians are available.
