Hello – I just wanted to quickly take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Paul Sanford and am a new member of seapig. I recently joined Splunk based here in Seattle after a number of years at Microsoft and also as a Java developer. Just getting back into code again after a few years hiatus.
Just wanted to quickly introduce the new Splunk Seattle office and let you know that we are hiring and always looking for Python devs. More details below. Introducing Splunk > Seattle We recently opened a new office in Seattle for Splunk. Splunk (www.splunk.com) is based in San Francisco and is a NoSQL/MapReduce/BigData (insert data buzzword) engine. Essentially, Splunk is a search engine and analytic environment that uses a distributed map-reduce architecture to efficiently index, search and process large time-varying data sets. The Splunk web UI is all Python using CherryPy. We're Building the Splunk SDKs & Doing Docs, Docs, & Docs Here in Seattle we are building out the SDKs on top of our REST API to make it easier to interface with Splunk. All of our SDKs will be open source and will contain a lot of examples and command line utilities. The Python SDK is up on GitHub now. It is still private as we have been making a lot of changes, but will be public on 8/16. But, we can give you access now. Just need your GitHub ID. Useful docs are critical and we are spending a lot of time on that too. What Can You Do with Splunk? Okay - great – so there are SDKs, but what can you do with them? Generally customers and developers have been wanting to extract data from Splunk for archival; integrate Splunk data with reporting and portal interfaces; load data into other data stores like a traditional data warehouse with some data cleansing along the way, doing some complex event processing or even build a whole new web UI on top of Splunk. There is also a lot of customization that you can make to Splunk Web though custom python scripts and by using Mako templates. We're Hiring We are always looking for great engineering talent. So, if you are interested let me know: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> or @PaulSanford Free Passes to Our Conference on 8/16-8/17 in San Francisco If you take a look at our Python SDK on GitHub, we will give you a free pass to our user conference. Just drop me a note at: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> or @PaulSanford to learn more. Or just drop by sometime. We are in the South Lake Union area and always have the kegerator and espresso machine at the ready.
