Earlier this month, I packed my bag and grabbed my lanyard to attend HAProxyConf in the beautiful city of Paris. I was far from alone: nearly 200 customers, colleagues, and community enthusiasts had the same idea.

There is no limit to the number of buckets you can create; each bucket can hold any amount of data.

JavaScript Immediately Invoked Function Expressions (IIFEs) are functions that are executed when they are initialized. An IIFE (pronounced “iffy”) can be initialized or defined to achieve a certain purpose.
