Startup edition:

    * provision one ec2 instance per number to check
    * assign numeric order based on uptime in msec using zookeeper
    * serve result via json
    * render it on the client.

No, step #1 is to put up a launchrock page promising FizzBuzz'd numbers and seeing how many signups you can get.

Maybe they will use Heroku instead of EC2

It is done in node.js with the latest something.js fad that provides event-driven async MVC interfaces in Coffee script or something like that

Also, they will have 100% code coverage (thanks Uncle Bob) but will fail at launch since nobody bothered to test it for more than one user.

Don't forget about the RESTful interface to the application.

first of all restful and json are not really welcome. do your JAX-WS first and then we can talk about these new silly things.

Good point. Those fizzy SOAP requests need to be signed too. Enterprise Security and all.

* import multiple javascript libraries titled as their filename.
