10gen Announces Company Name Change to MongoDB, Inc.

New York—August 27, 2013—10gen, the MongoDB company, today announced it is changing its name to MongoDB, Inc. The new name more closely unifies the open-source database project with the company behind it. The change is effective immediately.
“In 2007, 10gen began work on an open-source cloud computing stack. That was the birth of MongoDB, as the data layer of that platform,” said Dwight Merriman, Chairman and Co-founder at 10gen. “When we saw the potential for the database we had built we decided to focus 100% on MongoDB. Thus the company name 10gen and the database name MongoDB were different. With this change, our goal is to get the names back into alignment.”
The MongoDB project, and its mongodb.org community website, are unaffected by this change. 10gen will change its corporate website from 10gen.com to mongodb.com.
As part of today’s announcement, 10gen Education, which provides free, online training as well as public and private in-person courses, has been rebranded MongoDB University.

Stubbing and Mocking Static Methods with PHPUnit

Image
PHPUnit has ability to stub and mock static methods. Consider the class Foo : <?php class Foo { public static function doSomething() { return static::helper(); } public static function helper() { return 'foo'; } } ?> To test the static helper() function with PHPUnit, you can write you test like that: <?php class FooTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase { public function testDoSomething() { $class = $this->getMockClass( 'Foo', /* name of class to mock */ array('helper') /* list of methods to mock */ ); $class::staticExpects($this->any()) ->method('helper') ->will($this->returnValue('bar')); $this->assertEquals( 'bar', $class::doSomething() ); } } ?> The new staticExpects() method works similar to the non-static expects

Enable HTTP/2 Support in AWS ELB

Image
This thread  was started more than a year ago, asking for when Amazon Web Services will add support for HTTP/2  into their ELB. In addition to that, people are also asking, how to configure ELB to support multiple SSL certificates. AWS support team has been reluctant on giving out any specific details on when both of these features will be available, citing: I've verified that the ELB team is aware of the interest in ELB supporting HTTP/2. Please keep an eye on What's New from Amazon Web Services: http://aws.amazon.com/new/ for any updates. What is HTTP/2? HTTP/2 is a replacement for how HTTP is expressed “on the wire.” It is not a ground-up rewrite of the protocol; HTTP methods, status codes and semantics are the same, and it should be possible to use the same APIs as HTTP/1.x (possibly with some small additions) to represent the protocol. HTTP/2 protocol is supported by major modern browsers including IE11, Edge 13, Firefox 47, Chrome 52, Safari 9.1, Opera 38, i

How To Attach Your EBS volume to multiple EC2 instances

Image
Are you exhausted from the complexities and the extra cost associated with the EFS? What if you simply need to share the EBS volume between two EC2 instances? Say no more - Amazon Web Services has an answer for you! Starting today, customers running Linux on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) can take advantage of new support for  attaching  Provisioned IOPS ( io1 ) EBS volumes to  multiple EC2 instances , at  no extra charge ! Multi-Attach option in EBS According to AWS, the Multi-Attach capability makes it easier to achieve higher availability for applications that provide write-ordering to maintain storage consistency. Consider the following scenario: you are running a web application behind the load balancer, and the application expects static assets, such as WordPress media uploads, theme or configuration files, shared between the instances. Instead of using EFS, you could create new PIOPS EBS volume with the Multi-Attach option, mount the volume on each s
