Mozilla Socorro: an Open Source crash reporting system evolves.

Socorro collects and analyzes three million crash reports a day 
employing PostgreSQL, HBase, Hadoop, and ElasticSearch glued together 
with Python. Socorro's data analysis drives the stability and 
development priorities of Firefox.  Five years ago, Socorro was a system 
that ran on three machines and was tended by just one person.  In 2013, 
it has evolved to become a distributed system running on 120 machines 
and serving hundreds of terabytes of data.  Meanwhile, companies all 
over the world are adopting Socorro for crash reporting.  This talk, an 
update of one given several years ago, will track the evolution of 
Socorro and its future in the upcoming world of FirefoxOS.


K Lars Lohn is the Herd Patriarch of the Mozilla WebTools Group.  As the 
author and curator of the Mozilla Socorro Crash Reporting System, Lars 
has driven its evolution.  Formerly with the OSUOSL, Lars telecommutes 
for Mozilla from a farm near Corvallis.  While preferring Python, 
PostgreSQL and Harleys, Lars is versed in C++, MySQL and Subarus.
