Whale Communications, before they were purchased by Microsoft, had a hardware solution where a shared HDD disk was used to physically switch it between 2 different hosts to enable file sharing in a shared directory. would be almost perfect

100K req/day translates to about 1 req/sec, which you can run on anything using any technology with zero scalability problems. it can probably run on my old TI calculator ;) even if traffic has high peaks, scalability is not your

In addition to all the other arguments here, I have a problem with your assertion that Paypal is run by smart geeks. a) I think its a common knowledge that it is actually run by business pointy heads b) their API and dev environment are so

Just like I commented on the original incident report post, I think systems like Redis are not suitable to work as a db for payment processing and transaction storage. Reading through the report I can't imagine something like this happ

How about "request takedown of something you do not own and all your takedown requests will be hand-checked for a month" which will put a reasonable and significant delay into processing. The law doesn't mandate immediate aut

Now I wander if Heroku prices will follow or if they'll decide to just pocket the difference themselves.

well, then I guess you won't be a customer. Guess what.. this doesn't matter, the loss is probably all yours (if the actual content is something you can benefit from). Don't forget, this book is being written to get profit an

just deploying every time your tests pass is not continuous deployment. using it in production will only lead to pain down the line. to do it properly you need some or all of the following: a) to be able to deploy to only a fraction of your

Any argument involving price seems to completely ignore TCO. We are using Heroku for most of our needs and suggest it to all our clients and we couldn't be happier to pay the premium over "expensive" AWS. We save a lot on IT and maintenance

And what prevents you from cutting the price of the book in half several months later? This way you still get a big chunk at the beginning, and later you can still market it to the more price cautious population. My bet is that even if peop

So you say the book actually contains information you need right now (as an author trying to publish yourself) but you decided not to pay 30$ just because its not a paperback? seriously? Don't you think there is a big chance you will be abl

I just don't get it how is that they don't understand that they really impair the growth by not having cross-account chatrooms... We switched from Skype to HipChat for our internal company communications, but we still use Skype for chats wi

What a load of crap! We've been setting up our ec2 slices with puppet for a while, and we literally saved tens of IT hours after moving most of our new client projects to heroku. The one constant thing about maintaining configurations is th

An existence of a single-common father doesn't imply that there were no male humans alive before or at the time he lived. It's just that descendants of others haven't managed to pass the Y forward.

You are right, but you know what... 99% of the people that are using PCs are using them to consume. Do you really think an average PC user produces anything more then a very rare word document?

The pricing is insane. I don't need 60 testers and 1.4k$ to run a test cycle. That would only be appropriate for some major release which is not "how we do thing (tm)". This just wont work for the weekly release cycle.

From our experience whatever the service you are building it should usually take somewhere in the area of 200-500 hours for the first public version. If/when it catches up it will take thousands of hours to get it to a polished version if e
