It is true what Seth says; I am the new Func maintainer! Thanks muchly to Seth for his years of service hacking on Func, and I hope to do you and the community proud as we build Func into an even more awesome project over the next few months.
First up, an introduction: I am a site reliability engineer at Tumblr and a former Red Hatter, and you might know me best as the fellow who added Func's delegation feature and Certmaster's triggering feature a few years back. In its current form, Func has a lot of useful functionality, and we've found many uses for it at Tumblr, from the deployment of our code to infrastructure-wide maintenance tasks.
We'll be committing some bugfixes over the next few weeks as we continue to improve Func's reliability across large-scale deployments such as ours, so stay tuned for good things. From there, we plan a systematic overhaul of the project, especially around the messaging and security model, as we have some ideas that would allow for better parallelism, faster command execution, simpler minion management, and much tighter reliability while preserving API compatibility.
If you're using Func in your infrastructure, we'd love to hear about what you like, what features you use, and what things you'd like to see improved. Additionally, if you've ever come up with a patch in your dealings with Func, let me know, as we're hunting for some fellow committers/partners in crime.
I'll close things out here with an open offer to any Func player: if you're ever in NYC, give me a shout, as we should most certainly grab beers and talk remote system control.
