sdepablos··on The Forgotten Yahoo Project That Inspired Two Recently Funded Startups
Sounds interesting. I'll give it a try asap you release it.

Welcome (again) to Barcelona ;)
sdepablos··on Behind a Backend-as-a-Service Provider: The How and Why of Our Architecture.
Well, I didn't know you could fine tune your ELB's. In fact reading the Developer Guide (http://awsdocs.s3.amazonaws.com/ElasticLoadBalancing/latest/..., page 46) it seems that it's now possible to choose SSL protocols and ciphers via the web interface (and I supposse also via the API).

Regarding the comparison you suggest, we are too short-handed right know not only to do this kind of comparisons but even to think to manage our own load balancers ;) Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Haven't you run into performance terminating SSL on ELB? For me the performance is so-so, as I'm using a 2048 bit key and it seems I hit the maximum requests per second limit pretty fast. There're a pair of threads regarding this issue on the AWS forums, where a user did a really exhaustive test of ELB and even got an Amazon engineer to really look into that issue:

Beautiful! Precisely I was talking today with a friend about the need of a tool like this one.

So now you only need to manage that table so it does not grow out of control, create a basic interface, some kind of alerts... all for $15-30 month. I don't know you, my hours are way more expensive. For this kind of non-core features SaaS is the way to go.

I suppose the main advantage would be information aggregation with each error next to the number of occurrences (I don't want to see a hundred times the same error), the same business model as airbrake or getexceptional. I mean, almost any developer could implement an exception logger, but I don't really want to spend that time on a non-core feature for my business.

I'm with iambot. In almost all cases knowing the browser and versions makes the difference.

Ah ok, good to know ;)

Other things that could be changed. You say you ignore errors like when "Google Analytics broke", but I think reporting this kind of errors should be configurable. For us, an ecommerce site, it's important for the GA tracker to work, as many decisions are based on the insights it provides.

I've tried to create a machine in another zone with no success. I suppose there's a lot of people doing the same :(

I see all my servers on the management console, but I'm unable to ssh any of them, all in the same availability zone, eu-west-1b

Anyone who says that "net negative productivity programmers" don't exist is a person who has been really lucky in his professional career.
