You can do this, depending on your database. I wrote a blog post going over some of the techniques you can use with the AWS stack a while back - http://bit.ly/TD13iH

hn doesn't have a database capable of master/slave as such...so I think this will be harder if it ever becomes popular enough. I don't think it gets enough traffic it's ever likely to exceed what you can fit in a single box, from what I kno

Caution and understanding is necessary when choosing any infrastructure provider; AWS is not a special case.

Cool idea, but I wonder why they didn't use something like RabbitMQ which already exists and is proven?

You can get MySQL to do dumb stuff as well, though you have to specifically ask it to take more risks - http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/insert-delayed.html Almost all of the complaints against MongoDB are down to assumptions and la

10gen really nailed this; the meetup groups, customer support, drivers, docs and ability to get going are all awesome compared to most products, let alone the other databases competing with them.

Master / slave is deprecated. Replica sets can run on 2 nodes however, running on an even number of nodes in a set is a very bad idea as a primary node failure will cause the rest of your nodes to go read-only. Always run an odd number. Avo

Nailing community and ease of use (drivers for everything, easy to install) and documentation wouldn't have been much use if the product sucked; it doesn't. A lot of people that I've seen with issues around Mongo haven't understood how it's

I started working on a 2D RTS a while back, with a couple of twists - one of them was an API and encouraging players to write bots to support their play. I'd love to see this game have something similar, as it opens all kinds of possibiliti

Even if they have cut their initial user base in half, it doesn't mean they will not add alternatives in the future. FB integration solves a whole lot of issues around auth and sign up and generally makes your life easier when prototyping t

Most of it boils down to trust. The main problems of these systems are that if you can get $3/hr of economic value from a single turk, it's hard to trust that you are getting accurate results without checking by repetition. This means that

It worries me that security is still not a big part of this. I hope most people don't miss the fact that it's simple because it's insecure? Good luck to them solving it without ruining what's a nice idea. Sample, in your console type: Messa

The Nike Running app has something similar to what the op is talking about. I use this after I've been for a run, it's quite useful.

Unfortunately PhoneGap sucked to get started on the last time I tried it. Trigger, I had an app running about 2 minutes after getting to their website. PhoneGaps cool as it's opensource, Trigger is cool as it just works, has support and gre

This is cool, but I wonder when it will actually be done by reference rather than reference then copy. When will I be able to keep a "this is in use here" record for a file that is stored else where. Whilst way better than download-upload o

Games with massive textures (retina?), streaming lossless music, 1080p / 4k &&|| 3D 'netflix'? Bandwidth will always get used up. "64k is enough"...LOL.

Awesome. I'm going to have a play with this when I get a sec.

No, but it's a likely requirement of a nontrivial app. You can emulate it on AWS if you're using something like backbone, but only for public content.

Agreed, this is just a rough guide to it :-)
