        **Albertson is in an alpha state and probably shouldn't be used in
        production by anybody just yet.**

        *"Worst library ever!"*
        
        
        
        
        Why
        ---
        Creating counters that handle incrementing at high levels of concurrency while
        also being highly available and fault tolerant is *really* hard.  Thankfully,
        Amazon has solved these really hard bits with their [DynamoDB][2] service.
        
        Albertson provides a simple, clean, and easy to use, Python interface to
        DynamoDb for this specific use case.
        
        
        Who
        ---
        Albertson was created by the dev team at [FocusLab][1].

        ---------------------
        Internally at FocusLab Albertson is used for real-time, authoritative, counts
        that are often used to correct less frequently updated counts throughout our
        system.  Accordingly, we've named the library after our favorite fictional
        pedant, Comic Book Guy a.k.a. Jeff Albertson.
