Doozer: How Heroku Handles Distributed Failures

The (Go) source code for Doozer is here: https://github.com/ha/doozerd

Why didn't they just use Zookeeper?

There's some discussion of this in the notes from their release announcement: http://xph.us/2011/04/13/introducing-doozer.html

FYI that's "Doozer"

What a treasure trove of open source project / startup names. Gobo, Boober, Mokey, Doozer, Gorg. One of them already ends in ly, Wembly.

Thanks. Fixxed the title

They didn't discuss Go in the talk.
