nanite is for individual application where you know every part of the system is allowed to talk to one another. Vertebra is for wide area networking and assumes hostility so does a lot more security isolation. Vertebra is for controlling cl

The file streaming works by chunking up a file and broadcasting the chunks to an exchange. Any agents subscribed to the exchange will get a copy of the file. There is a small state machine for re-assembling files and each set of file packet

One big advantage is the runtime efficiency. Merb processes use less then half the ram of a rails process and can serve 2-5 times the traffic. This means you save a lot of money scaling your app for traffic demands. Merb also does not loc

XMPP pierces NAT for one reason. This means you can have XMPP clients behind many more firewalls then you can with amqp. Also xmpp libraries are available in almost every language and platform and traditional MQ's do not have presence or fe

These slides are totally offbase about static files with nginx and memcached. I've benched large nginx clusters storing static file page caches in memcached against just serving them from a GFS filesystem and giving linux lots of ram for bu

You're doing it wrong if you don't build your own framework at some point. Blindly using rails or even merb or any other framework will only get you so far. To truly transcend, you must build your own or heavily alter an existing framewor

While this all may be a good plan it is not the only way to go. My startup, engineyard.com is only two years old. But we built something people wanted and started selling it to them in September of 2006 with only $120k seed money raised fro

that has to be a math mistake. With only 8916 tips, that dollar amount would require each tip to average $1132668.28 which doesn't seem to hold true...
