Interesting Snippets from 2012-09-15

• Cubism.js

  Cubism.js is a D3 plugin for visualizing time series. Use Cubism to construct better realtime dashboards, pulling data from Graphite, Cube and other sources. Cubism is available under the Apache License on GitHub.

• Seriesly - Document Oriented Time Series DB

  So, I started writing a document-oriented time-series database in go two weeks ago. It’s really nothing groundbreaking, but it’s been quite fun. My purpose is to have a system that allows me to store arbitrary performance data captured as it’s seen in the wild, and then later come up with ways to look at it. Check out this real life example to get a feel for the kinds of captures we’re working with. This sample represents a single point in time, there may be many of these occuring at any frequency (well, nothing more frequent than once per nanosecond). From this, we can do arbitrary queries and report groupings at millisecond granularity.

• Incremental Mapreduce for Analytics with R

  I’ve been wanting to describe some of my work with using R to help me understand data I’m collecting in Couchbase Server† because I find it quite interesting, useful and easy. However, it’s been difficult for me to figure out a good starting point because I don’t know who the audience would be. That is, finding the right set of assumptions to get going has been quite hard.
