While working for the Australian e-commerce company GraysOnline, then CIO Stewart McGrath and then development manager Daniel Bartholomew found performance, security and scalability were of utmost importance. But in trying to move part of the application closer to the user, they found that content delivery networks (CDNs) posed three challenges:
They were fixed networks, each one insisting their locations were better,
They locked users into a discrete set of proprietary software,
They approached the space from a networking standpoint, leaving developers out of the picture completely.
That was their impetus to create Section, a developer-centric platform for moving parts of the application closer to the edge.
Spiritual communities along the Roaring Fork Valley are inviting people to take a moment Saturday to reflect on what the pandemic as has meant to everyone.
The Spring Equinox (March 20) seems an ideal time as it signals the move from dark to light.
On that day, which is the spring equinox, churches, synagogues and spiritual centers up and down the valley will be opening between noon and 2 p.m. to enable people to come in and reflect. There will also be online opportunities. Or, visit a special place in nature during the timeframe noon to 2 p.m. for a time of reflection.
