Ruby gems (libraries) aren't pulled feom github. Yes, you CAN pull it from there, but most public and published gems don't come from there.

An interview is more about how you present yourself than about your actual skills, so make sure that you create a good impression first before telling them. In my interviews I usually ask about a record towards the end of the interview so that I'm not biased, but if it comes up earlier, be truthful about it.

I've done a couple of contracts through them. For the most part it's beem a good experience.

They try to vet the clients as well as the coders / talent, but it's not perfect process so sometimes a dud falls through the cracks. They do have solid procedures for both the client and freelancer to follow if either party isn't happy, which includes the person who set up the engagement initially.

Much better than the other sites.

My experience working through Toptal has been mostly positive (although I haven't done a contract through them in quite a while).

I failed my initial application due to my inability to solve a couple of algorithm specific tests as other commenters have mentioned. I reappllied a couple of months later, did a couple of codility tests to ensure I'd pass this time, and flew through the rest of the process.

Yes, their signup process will potentially disquallify a couple of good devs, but it will also weed out a lot of bad devs that can't take the time to learn the solutions to common algorithm problems.

Once in, they have a variety of jobs available, some good, some bad. Overall I don't mind working for them. I've been happy with the Upwork dev's I've hired so far, so can't comment on if I'll hire through Toptal.

Thanks for linking to the article. I remember reading something like that but had no idea on how to find it.

Setting up nginx to proxy to Elasticsearch with HTTP auth on top is fairly trivial. There's a couple of good articles on the web if you google for it. Also, should you have an Elasticsearch support contract, you get access to the Shield plugin which has extensive access control.

But yes, the fact that it is open OOTB is frustrating.

Although I like the idea behind this, I find it quite difficult to get started in using it. Any good posts or guides for that?

The title doesn't match that of the article, and sounds somewhat biased?

It looks like since you define both the queries and the inputs, you can set it up to support SNMP. You can use Logstash to listen for SNMP traps, and push it to your OpenTSDB or Elasticsearch instance, from where Bosun will pull it.
