- @CodingFabian: IaaS = Ops without Hardware; PaaS = Devs without Ops; SaaS = Business without Devs
- @dthume: "Fault tolerance implies scalability" - Joe Armstrong,
- @jessiekeck: Looks like my local bar takes the same approach to scalability with their paper towels as I do w/ software. http://pic.twitter.com/DTL2W1eC

- @coda: You don't "beat the CAP theorem". You "build distributed systems that don't suck miserably". At best.
- Before you complain too much about Apple's store being down on iPad day, remember scaling a store is much harder than scaling a website. Just ask Amazon and eBay. You know you are going to buy one anyway, so why should they spend on handling a once a year peak load?
