Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Centralized rate limits, quotas, adaptive controls, and clear visibility give services predictable ways to handle traffic spikes, reduce reliability debt, and prevent cascading failures across systems.
