bad: master/slave
better: leader/follower
uwsgi: the emperor process manages vassals. running it as root is called tyrant mode.
vassal configuration is discovered by imperial monitors. you can get metrics from the imperial bureau of statistics
@faho it's amazing and also dates back to like 2010, before we finally managed to agree that master/slave terminology is bad
i've also just been reminded that when the emperor exits, it logs something very ominous about slaughtering vassals
@embr what on earth
> Broodlord (taken from Starcraft, like Zerg mode mode) is a way for a vassal to ask for “reinforcements” to the Emperor.
uWSGI also doesn't have leader elections, it has Legions, "groups of nodes constantly fighting for domination". The node with the highest Valor is the Lord of the Legion.
@embr I was planning to use master/minion because supervillains but this is so much better.
@alexbuzzbee you can still try to one-up its shutdown log message:
[INFO] **** RAGNAROK EVOKED!! ****
@embr Wow, you weren't kidding!
