Re: Is the LAMP stack dead for web-scale computing?

Ross Cooney <ross.coo...@gmail.com>

Yes, I made some sweeping statements, I have a habit of doing that
when I am excited...but, in the terms of web-scale computing I believe
that the traditional LAMP stack is "less useful" than a cloud of a
million computers.

When people ask me about cloud computing and why I am so excited by it
I tell them two stories:

and
http://www.spoutingshite.com/index.php/2008/02/24/what-would-you-do-i...

As a contrast, when people ask me where they should host their
brochure-ware web site I point them to their local hosting company.
