I really liked the concept of this article. I've been impressed by your other posts and just wanted to thank you for the insights you provide. As I get closer to launching my own ideas, I can't tell you how helpful it is to learn (or attempt to learn) from the experience of others like yourself.
A side note - I noticed you're using slicehost. With the "cloud-y" providers available (Heroku, AWS, etc) would you ever consider a move to them? Could that help eliminate any of the moving parts, or just relocate them?
- patio11 16y agoI don't have personal experience with Heroku or EC2. My feeling is that, coming from my background (system engineer: I can do basic Linux administration but I don't breathe it) and at my scaling requirements, EC2 is more complexity versus "as simple as dedicated" VPS providers like Slicehost without any compensating advantage. Heroku seems like it would potentially be amazingly useful for folks who swing more programmer than systems engineer, and quite possibly for me as well, but I just have never gotten around to trying it out for a test drive.
