Great story. It was actually kind of interesting to see EC2 relegated to a small part of one paragraph -- sounds like it did its job as expected. What else can you tell us (or me at least :-) about this aspect of the project?
- simonw 17y agoThere's not a lot to say really - it Just Worked. We used it for the last project as well. This time we had two instances, one running MySQL and Redis and the other running Django. Last time we started with one instance and then moved to two when it turned out I'd written a bunch of inefficient code (the ORDER BY RAND for example). This time we started with two, but I'd avoided the dumb mistakes I made first time round so scaling turned out not to be a problem. Now that most of the activity is over we'll scale down to just one instance.
