Think about a possibility of a posting like that just 10 years ago.

Author of the article here: thanks for re-posting this! The article seems to be still relevant to many even 4 years later, which surprises me, given how quickly everything is changing in the field.

However, I personally am now focused (and bullish) on DNN-based semantic search. Having built several search experiences based on it I'm convinced it is the future.

The license allows you to do that and many other things.

Also, you might want to wait a day or two before starting and let the dust settle a bit. ;-)

Well, you could start by submitting a PR with everything you already know about Beanstalk:

1. That would be very valuable for everyone else.

2. A section, that does not look overwhelmingly empty would attract more and higher quality contributions from others. Kind of a reverse broken windows theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory).

That's a very insightful suggestion, thanks!

My guess is that there are companies with "legacy" applications, that can't really be re-written into a distributed system, have a large footprint, but still need to be run.

The special sub-category of those are huge RDBMS instances - a pretty common choke point in growing companies with weaker engineering teams. Some of those companies would pay basically any price to keep those DBs running.

You could add more background on it into the guide. Just submit a PR! :-)

Right? I wish Amazon were just running a page like that themselves.

Thanks for the insight! Would you consider sending a pull request with a note on that?

Can you send a pull request with that tip? Many people would really appreciate it when they won't need to recover from snapshots. :-)

I feel you. The laws in many parts of the US and in some other countries should really change.

Luckily, in California the company can't really stop you from working on your own project or contributing to an opensource one.
