So they kind of move some business away from Peer 1 after all this bucket brigade job? Not nice.
I hope they move Trello back to "real" servers and not this AWS, once the datacenter is stabilized.
I think that AWS is overrated and overpriced and it's a big asset of FogCreek to still use real data centers, after all they started this thing before AWS even existed.
I don't know if StackExchange or FogBugz would run so good on these AWS-servers with bad IO.
It's great though if they now have the chance to quickly overflow Trello to AWS in case of problems or high demands and buy a new correctly-priced, powerful server to put at Peer 1 a week later!
