| reply to KoolMoe Re: Amazon's S3 failure warns should go slow
hm. where i work, most of our applications are already web based interfaces to databases and such. it sucks. seriously hard. when things get busy and there's alot of us accessing the same interface, things slow to a crawl. it might be that the underlying access structure is badly done, or it might be that having everything being sent back and forth over an https connection is a bad idea. who knows.
personally i think it's kind of silly. i can see how it would be useful for some things, but... to be honest, it just seems like a bad way to do things because there's that many more steps between user input and final output for things to go wrong. |
