Your Egress prices are quite a bit more compared to CloudFront for sub 10TB (.12/GB vs .085/GB).
The track record of s3 outages vs time your up and sending Egress seems like S3 wins in cost. If all your worried about is cross region data storage, your probably a big player and have AWS enterprise agreement in place which offsets the cost of storage.
My elderly mother-in-law got scammed, and it was pretty ridiculous how WU allowed it to go through given the circumstances.
Just wondering if/how to potentially get some of the $ back via this lawsuit.
My hope was that Allo was going to fix the disaster of a decision by google to split SMS and Messages apart in Hangouts.
I want one app that supports SMS and messages and I want it web enabled so I can use it from my computer. iMessage has this nailed.
I was a Google Fi customer. Before hangouts separated function I had an awesome cross platform unified messaging experience. I'm switching to iPhone after 7+ yrs on android partially due to this android messaging mess.
So how do you do twitter? They don't have a full JS client side implementation..
IBM has long embraced the OSS community (I loved LTC), but the process to release/use anything OSS was not good (to put it nicely) and was one of the many reasons I left.
I worked on a project that was on an island, and while it was more efficient than normal IBM dev, it was still 10x slower and tons of red tape then what was required to make a competitive product (and stay competitive). IBM is big and ultimately has to protect themselves - IMO ultimately it gets in your way of making a good/competitive product.
I like what StrongLoop does for the node community, and I do indeed hope you are successful and nothing changes. But to be honest I am very skeptical.
This is a great first step however - getting into the market will open the doors for some really cool stuff - and hopefully give fans a better appreciation for the real speed of the game .
You can get a self contained cli (jgit.sh) from here: https://eclipse.org/jgit/download/ . It does not have an eclipse dependency.
you can then just add an s3 remote and push to this remote as part of your CI flow.
Here is a decent article that describes the end-to-end: http://www.fancybeans.com/blog/2012/08/24/how-to-use-s3-as-a...
S3 has 9 9s of durability and is "closer" to where our servers run so there are less possible points of failure. We have had 0 issues since migrating to s3 backed git repo 2 years ago.
We still use github for day-to-day scm mgmt as you guys have tons of extra value add.
We use it for auto deploys from autoscaled instances cuz github has poor uptime.
I would hope they honor this dns issue under the same guidelines although its technically not the route53 service we are paying for.
