This isn't as bad as it sounds As someone who has done this multiple times in the past I have to disagree. Yes, it is very much as bad as it sounds and a big pain point with Postgresql in general and RDS in particular. For small data

You make it sound as if Amazon buying servers was some kind of unexpected freak event. They are just one of many large companies who buy hardware constantly. Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Rackspace, Leaseweb, to name a few others...

in which scenarios it makes economical sense to use AWS compared to real hardware? There's three types of workloads that make sense to run on EC2: a) Extremely spiky/seasonal loads (batch jobs, event/campaign traffic) b) Lo

$469 USD per year? (EDIT: The actual price is $234/yr, as clarified by mike below) GeoTrust sells them for $125/yr[1]. Also a friendly reminder to everyone: Letsencrypt[2] will launch in mid-2015. From that point onwards SSL certi

The codebase of rubygems is... not exactly welcoming. What a very polite way to put it. IMHO that whole mess (rubygems + bundler) would ideally be replaced from scratch, removing the need for bundler in the process. If any generous sponso

I didn't say they don't happen. They're just so rare that the difference between ~6h rebuilds with 4T spindles versus 15h rebuilds with 10T spindles simply doesn't matter. Any homeopathic advantage of slightly faster reb

the risk of an additional failure in say a RAID5 or RAID6 configuration is just too high. Two disk failures in the same array within 15 hours is very rare.

For some stuff, you just need your own rack. Well, the article does a terrible job at explaining why that rack is needed and why it can't be in a datacenter in the same city as the NTPd maintainer. Honestly, I have a hard time believ
