Hi all - For those who don't know me, I'm Mike Bayer, creator/maintainer of SQLAlchemy, Alembic migrations and Dogpile caching. In the past month I've become a full time Openstack developer working for Red Hat, given the task of carrying Openstack's database integration story forward. To that extent I am focused on the oslo.db project which going forward will serve as the basis for database patterns used by other Openstack applications.
I've summarized what I've learned from the community over the past month in a wiki entry at: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Openstack_and_SQLAlchemy The page also refers to an ORM performance proof of concept which you can see at https://github.com/zzzeek/nova_poc. The goal of this wiki page is to publish to the community what's come up for me so far, to get additional information and comments, and finally to help me narrow down the areas in which the community would most benefit by my contributions. I'd like to get a discussion going here, on the wiki, on IRC (where I am on freenode with the nickname zzzeek) with the goal of solidifying the blueprints, issues, and SQLAlchemy / Alembic features I'll be focusing on as well as recruiting contributors to help in all those areas. I would welcome contributors on the SQLAlchemy / Alembic projects directly as well, as we have many areas that are directly applicable to Openstack. I'd like to thank Red Hat and the Openstack community for welcoming me on board and I'm looking forward to digging in more deeply in the coming months! - mike _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
