Thanks again from Matt and I for the feedback. You've made your point loudly and clearly, and we will most definitely tweak accordingly.
Pylons has served us pretty well in so far as it seems a more modular approach vs. django. Pylons encourages you to tweak the framework itself as you see fit. In our case, we incorporate a bunch of custom framework…
+1 on using virtual desktops to position things in 'space'. That is how i work and it is mighty helpful, especially when you have many different simultaneous servers/environments open. also, for what it is worth, i love…
Hmmmm. Is it 'really hard' to develop web apps with python and avoid django? No. It isn't.
Have used ec2 and s3 for a while now in a production context. While there may be cheaper services out there, we've appreciated the ability to scale up and down rapidly, build test environments, etc. It really depends on…
good q. if you can, use the same thing on the server as you use on your desktop. i use 32 bit ubuntu (8.04). if it performs fine on your 2GB RAM thinkpad, it will probably do fine on an ec2 box, no? if the config works…
Here is the thing. What makes some other solution more immune to a system-wide crash than ec2? When that happens, what is the major difference between that solution and an ec2 based one? If you really want to play it…
This might be what you mean, but a combination of memcached and a replicated database running on some ec2 boxes should work pretty well. The socialtext link implies that. I haven't used simpledb yet, but as far as I…
