Last week, a few of us from Automattic attended NANOG in San Diego and Tyler from our Netops team gave a great talk about Pingo, a tool we have written and released under the GPL. We use Pingo to detect (and sometimes predict) network congestion across the Internet. We then use this data to make real-time automated routing decisions between our data centers on six continents. While we could have done this same thing using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, it was much simpler without it. If simplicity at scale interests you, we’re hiring.
