Agreed, < 125ms is typically an OK range (for most things) but < 300ms is really nebulous. There are apps I would stop using fairly quickly if 300ms was the norm. Thanks for the tip on Tokyo data center for EC2, I've seen a lot of

For what it's worth, I liked the article and the idea of client-side real time balancing presented in the article when you submitted it. Something similar happened when I launched http://hnnotify.com -- got 24 up votes and then it crawled

That is a higher traffic site than I expected a Micro to be able to handle. Are you hosting dynamic content (PHP, Java, etc.) or is everything really heavily cached in static files/varnish and hosted out by nginx quickly so as to avoid satu

I wonder if a (rough enough) algorithm might be to filter all apps in the app store and only analyze apps that have more than 1k downloads then see what the profit split looks like so you (hopefully) filter out brand new apps that you don't

Technically S3 is not Amazon's CDN (CloudFront is) it just behaves like one and a lot of people use it like one. For a localized readership, it is fine since all the data will be coming out of a single regional location. If you have global

I like this sentiment and think it frees us up to be more like the people we wish we were than the people we think we should be out of fear: Startups are not a zero-sum game. We can all win, and by that, I mean create value that ultim

moe that's a good point, if he's got all the pages statically cached and all the graphical assets on S3, all nginx would need to do is serve back relatively small TXT files which even on the micro would be trivial.

Is anyone else surprised the EC2 Micro did so well? If you read the EC2 forums[1] for any amount of time you get used to seeing post after post of "hung sites" running on the Micros when a constant level of demand is made on them (not the i

Interesting take on it being a preemptive move. I wouldn't have seen that kind of competitive advantage in owning Palm... again, since it doesn't look to be a talent acquisitions and it isn't for patents (?) then the only thing left is WebO
