About three weeks ago, a new “standard” for Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) was announced by EMC, IBM, and Microsoft with the usual fanfare of being the best thing since sliced bread and compliant with the latest buzzwords.

Oh nice broadside from Roy Fielding around CMIS and its claims of RESTful-ness (some kind of a word road accident there :( ). What really is nifty about this article is how it presents the benefits of REST as flaws in yet another pants standard.

By John Engales CTO, Rackspace. Good presentation of the stages a typical successful website goes through: * Stage 1 - The Beginning: Simple architecture, low complexity. no redundancy. Firewall, load balancer, a pair of web servers, database server, and internal storage. * Stage 2 - More of the same, just bigger. * Stage 3 - The Pain Begins: publicity hits. Use reverse proxy, cache static content, load balancers, more databases, re-coding. * Stage 4 - ...

How do we scale datacenters? Should we build a few mammoth million machine datacenters or many smaller micro datacenters? Intuitively we usually go with a bigger is better economies of scale type argument, but it may not be so. What works for Walmart may not work for White Box World. Mega datacenters may actually exhibit diseconomies of scale. It may be better to run applications over many distributed micro datacenters instead of one large one. ...
