Right, but they also have their own internal Paxos service to manage distributed transactions, and they have thousands of engineers and thus can deal with the increased complexity. As I said in my original comment: > That seems like an

Yeah, that makes sense. It's not just joins, though. Consider the transactional nature of something like the signup process, where you want it to either succeed completely or fail completely. If you're creating objects independent

Are people typically building their microservices infrastructure on top of a SQL database, or other datastores? I'd be concerned not just about the overhead of managing lots of different (though simple) services, but also the fact that

CloudFlare is hosting sites which, according to claims in this article, violate Russian law. CloudFlare is not responding to legal notices from the Russian government (or is not complying with the demands in these notices). It sounds like t

I think you're conflating CloudFlare, the company, and CloudFront, the AWS CDN service.

I have never seen a startup regret being generous with equity for their early employees. A few years ago, Zynga told some early employees with lots of shares that they had to give back some of their stock or they'd be fired: http:&#

In my opinion, if you're using anything other than 1X dynos on Heroku you are compensating for some other part of your stack being broken. You may want to read this section: https://blog.heroku.com/archives/2014&

I think it works very well for us at Heroku. I've been here 3 years, and people certainly take enough time off in general. Probably 3-5 weeks for most folks. If they don't take enough time off, their managers are supposed to get o

I can't release any of our traffic numbers, but I can tell you that 1M req/s is an enormous number. For some context, here's a post from Netflix from the end of 2011 where they state that their API received 20,000 req/s
