In our experience, sharding at the application level is to be avoided. We implemented application level sharding a few years ago when we had 1Tb of data. We now have over 20Tb of data and application level business logic is killing us. Our

I use SuperPutty on my Windows PC to manage many putty sessions at a time...it is a little clunky, however it is better than having putty open 5 or 10 times.

I am a member of the AMQP Working Group and the OASIS AMQP Member Section. Last month we released the AMQP 1.0 protocol. This is something that we are really passionate about. The one thing that has really held back the broad adoption of AM

While this is an interesting article, the title is a little misleading. The use of that particular technology could be used to warn people of a problem, but only after the initial fact. This would be useful to warn people of a tsunami or a

Don't be concerned with immigration issues for a while and leave your business registration and taxation status in the UK. Sort out all the paperwork if or when you decide to settle down...in the meantime stay nimble, have fun and travel.

AWS instances don't have persistent storage...if your server crashes you loose your data, the changes to your OS and even your IP. AWS is great, but you can't compare the AWS instances with other VPS or Dedicated offerings.

It's true I fear...the big social networks (Facebook, Twitter and linkedin) all allow both name and profile pic as public even when you make your profile private. Spidering this data would build an amazing database for facial recognition. T
