Heroku vs AWS
Heroku.. almost a bad word in many circles. It’s expensive, polished, and restrictive. To me: it’s like the Apple of hosting providers. I can rely on it to “just work” the vast, vast majority of the time.

Bitcoin and disruption
Like many companies, CKC has been infested with at least one of “those guys” who are way into Bitcoin. (looking at you Eric)
In this post: what Bitcoin is and how CKC hopes to make innovative, disruptive, and buzz-wordy applications based on this newfangled digital platform. Eric’s appreciation for Bitcoin was magnified by impactful experiences while doing work for the United Nations.

Optimizing Heroku Django Memory
This week we’re writing about a particularly tech detailed situation we have with a client. The symptoms: architecture that has slowed down and behaving poorly. There are warnings about too much memory usage, requests are timing out after 30 seconds — causing some pages to be completely unresponsive for clients with more than 300 offices.

Who are we?
We’re a lean, agile, jack-of-all-trades mix of nerds (that happen to be software developers). The team has experience working with Microsoft Research, Google, University of Paris, The United Nations, CERN, etc.
