PghGooglePlex

Spent the evening hanging out at the Pittsburgh Google Plex for a talk on RPC tracing with Dapper.  Dapper is the google tool for measuring how much time RPC calls are spending at different layers of the Google stack.  Interesting from the pov of what does it take to make google go and some of the assumptions of what they can expect from their infrastructure.  The talk wrapped up with a tour of the facilities.  Very cool overall.

Also interesting to see the tons of smart folk out to hear a bit more of what Google is up to and the side conversations they were having.
