It looks like the play here is to get a bunch of small, committed workloads that GCE can move around where they've got spare capacity. On-demand pricing is very similar to the existing n1 type, but 1yr committed discounts are 30%+ chea

Used to work at Dropbox. Existing knowledge of new hires was 90% of the challenge with Mercurial with the other 10% being weird edge cases (e.g. very large/numerous repositories) that hadn't seen as much attention due to the small

Apologies if I misrepresented Kafka's replication. So the system described in the blog post is the new 0.8.2+ stuff with min.insync.replicas taking over required.acks? Will review.

What product are you working on that it's possibly worth your time to test with FF 1? It's got like 0.01% marketshare at most. People mention IE 6-8 because large numbers of people are still on it due to corporate IT policies.
