Seems to be that they did, but Varnish didn't suit their needs as they couldn't fit all the data in RAM. It's OK to change what you use because you outgrow it.

The Tube (TFL) are trying to introduce driverless trains. Its the unions that are stopping them. I'm sure if TFL could get rid of all drivers tomorrow and replace them with driverless trains they would. The thing that will hold up real

That does suck! I'm not familiar with the law in the USA but in the UK you can be let go for very little within the first 2 years of employment. You don't have a right for unfair dismissal for the first two years. The notice perio

Even if you have the resources to support something, should you if its not your core focus? Personal I feel that Google is still run as a startup, which is fantastic however people expect Google to be a corporate company.

It took me a while to understand the benefit of IronWorker however a 'server-less' environment is exactly what we need for some small discrete jobs. I know that these jobs will scale up (in number) without the need to deploy more servers o
