We’ re All Just Looking for Connection

We’ve been working to bring components of Quip’s technology into Slack with the canvas feature, while also maintaining the stand-alone Quip product. Quip’s backend, which powers both Quip and canvas, is written in Python. This is the story of a tricky bug we encountered last July and the lessons we learned along the way about being careful with TCP state. We hope that showing you how we tackled our bug helps you avoid — or find — similar bugs in the future!
