Twitter Acquires Palo Alto-Based Scalable Computing Startup Ubalo

  Does anyone know anything about Ubalo's IP?

    No idea, but I'm of particularly interest because their performance numbers are abysmal. There has to be something else going on here. 1 second per thousand records is not fast :/.

      There must be something more. I can get that kind of performance with standard stuff (and with little optimization if any).

      It says right in the article, it is an acquire. I've had Twitter sniffing around my last two startups looking to bring in talent. At this point I just don't think they are getting qualified engineers applying.

  I went to the same high school as Ubalo CEO Jacob Mattingly, and even in a school full of smart people he stood out as particularly talented. I also saw his presentation at RICON last year and was impressed with the potential of their technology for facilitating API sandboxes and lowering the barrier to entry for developers. I'm happy for Ubalo that they've been successfully acquired and wish them all the best!
