VPC <a href="http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2011/08/amazon-vpc-far-more-than-everywhere.html">exited beta and became generally available</a> in all regions in August, and allows you to provision compute nodes within a virtual network in AWS. For anything more than simple websites, we believe migrating to VPC is something worth doing, or at the very least worth investigating.</p> <p>Because Amazon VPC is a new service and requires a substantial amount of domain knowledge, this article will first cover a quick intro to the benefits and parts of building a VPC. Specific details about our VPC architecture here at Kiip, tooling we’ve built around it, and our migration process will be covered in future posts.</p> <p><a href="http://blog.engineering.kiip.me/post/12288961849/ec2-to-vpc-transition-worth-doing">Read More</a></p></blockquote>http://schlinkify.org/post/12735238499http://schlinkify.org/post/12735238499Sun, 13 Nov 2011 13:52:05 +0100“At Facebook, there was a cultural resistance to process, to the point where the pattern around introducing process typically went “new process is reluctantly introduced only right before the point where things tip into chaos.” Push this point as far as humanly possible, and then some, because what you receive in return is high organizational speed. If your organization has less process than another one of equivalent size, you will innovate and execute faster, taking ideas from conception to market more rapidly. Managers may need to psychologically contend with more chaos than they are comfortable with, but there is a huge difference between chaos that makes one uncomfortable and chaos that actually threatens the business. Stepping as close to the latter as possible confers one of the greatest advantages in the technology business: execution speed.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://algeri-wong.com/yishan/engineering-management-process.html">Yishan Wong: Engineering Management - Process</a> (via <a href="http://justin-singer.com/post/11569721813/at-facebook-there-was-a-cultural-resistance-to">Justin Singer</a>)</em>http://schlinkify.org/post/11813779625http://schlinkify.org/post/11813779625Sun, 23 Oct 2011 13:28:07 +0200<a href="http://blog.asmartbear.com/cancellation-rate-in-saas-business-models.html">Deep dive: Cancellation rate in SaaS business models</a>http://schlinkify.org/post/11813775193http://schlinkify.org/post/11813775193Sun, 23 Oct 2011 13:27:51 +0200<a href="http://caterina.net/wp-archives/105">Caterina.net» Blog Archive » Killing the Abraham</a>http://schlinkify.org/post/11813773176http://schlinkify.org/post/11813773176Sun, 23 Oct 2011 13:27:43 +0200
