The REST API and <code>vmprobed</code> packages weren't as flexible as we were hoping so they've been removed for now. We've got another API-like interface in the works &mdash; it's going to be really cool!</p> https://vmprobe.com/blog/2016/03/database-speedup-white-paper <p>By intelligently managing the filesystem cache, we can speed up certain database operations dramatically. This white-paper demonstrates this as well as discussing how it works and some near-future plans for vmprobe.</p> https://vmprobe.com/blog/2016/03/fail-overs-white-paper <p>One application of vmprobe technology that people have been interested in is using it to maintain hot-standby servers. By using vmprobe to duplicate the virtual memory state from the primary to the standby(s), fail-over events are much smoother than otherwise.</p> https://vmprobe.com/blog/2016/03/releasing-0-2 <p>We're extremely excited about this release! We've split vmprobe into two components: the command-line tool you may already be using, and a daemon component with a REST API so you can integrate vmprobe into your own infrastructure.</p> https://vmprobe.com/blog/2016/02/screencast-using-web-interface <p>This screencast demonstrates the features of vmprobe's web interface.</p> https://vmprobe.com/blog/2016/01/toronto-perl-mongers-talk <p>Doug did a talk for the <a href="http://to.pm.org/">Toronto Perl Mongers</a> users group about vmprobe:</p> https://vmprobe.com/blog/2016/01/screencast-getting-started <p>We've started screencasting on Youtube! In this screencast we walk through basic usage of the <code>vmprobe</code> command-line utility.</p> https://vmprobe.com/blog/2016/01/announcing-vmprobe <p>In April 2009 I wrote up a simple utility over a weekend called <code>vmtouch</code>. It helped me solve a few problems I was experiencing on the job and, most pressingly, let me run a series of experiments to satisfy my curiosity about how the filesystem page cache works. I have found <code>vmtouch</code> very useful over the past 7 or so years, and apparently <a href="https://hoytech.com/vmtouch#saying">a few other people have too</a>.</p>
