More Tools!

I love having insight into processes. One thing that we cannot live without are tools. I have been saving these up for a few months, but here is a list of three new (new to me) tools that I have come across.

nkrode – A real-time dashboard for redis. I have actually implemented this, but am not using it currently. We are using a windows port of redis (ugh…) and the dashboard does not seem to pick up certain counters like memory consumption. Using the windows port, not my idea!

Mod Rewrite Generator – Generates a mod_rewrite rule based upon your input. I have not used it yet, but some of my colleagues have used it with success.

Which loads faster – From the developer “web performance
matters” This tool will compare the load time of two sites. It is interesting to compare across browsers, and some friendly competition amongst colleagues! Thanks to Khalid for this one.
