The DB write spikes are very likely to be EBS glitches, we've seen them do that frequently. The crazy CPU issue might be related to the EC2 bugs in the Lucid Lynx kernel...Maverick is also problematic but Natty Narwhal has fixes for many of

You can run a slave Redis replica very easily, and save db snapshots from that without impacting the master. When Salvatore says "redis on disk", he's referring to attempts to mix in-memory & on-disk portions of the data, rather than th

Seconded. We had our 10.04 machines regularly, and become totally unresponsive. Then, we had even worse luck with Maverick--starting with the issue where it didn't recognize half the RAM on the 68GB instance type. Natty seems to be holding

Thanks for this! My dream Muni app would show the average time it's currently taking to get through the Market underground section (where I see most of the bottlenecks, esp. on the N). This is a good proxy in the meantime :)

Would have loved to have seen some actual perf numbers, especially in terms of how much of a cost the Multi-AZ writes entail. We're doing Postgres on EC2, which means RDS doesn't quite help, but Postgres 9's hot standby/streaming replicatio

If you're a Vinge fan, the annotated version of A Fire Upon the Deep is a great find (available on Kindle); it has his emacs notes (linked in-text) and you can watch the characters develop, his editor suggest improvements, etc. Looks like h

Nope; xauth reduces the number of steps a user has to go through for your service to obtain an access token for them (you can prompt them for their username and password rather than launch a web view pointing at Twitter.com). You still need

I read this last night and this morning and still can't quite figure out what your app does. Focus your message, and provide some illustrations/scenarios of how this would matter to someone real, and it will help the communication aspect.

Nice! 2 questions: 1. Are the keyboard shortcuts documented anywhere? 2. Is there a way to reorder the issues in the main view?

I made CrimeDeskSF ( http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/crimedesksf/id339706696?mt=8 ) to visualize some of this data on the iPhone, including a mostly-gimmicky-but-kinda-fun augmented reality view (drug bust 100ft away!). I'm using the datasf.

a hearty endorsement here for Mailroom: it takes exactly what I love about Mailplane on the Mac (switching between accounts; better at-a-glance indication of new messages; letting Gmail be Gmail instead of shoving it through IMAP and suffer
