    WELL crap. My son is sick now. Guess it’s norovirus. Apparently it’s been going around this year.

    My client’s site is down. 504ing. No warning, nothing. We just got put onto a potato server, and I only found out because I escalated to a higher level of support.

  • Change Datastore Methods to Use Generators

    The current datastore interface returns arrays for collection methods which leads to memory and performance issues in REST implementations where N+1 queries are sometimes unavoidable. By changing these methods to use generators, we can process items as they arrive and maintain constant memory usage regardless of collection size, creating a more efficient implementation without sacrificing usability.
