engaging and pervasive communication experiences

twits captured at a recent developers conference

good apis: responsiveness, availability, quality of the underlying resource

cloud scalability: instance start up time? api requests p sec? number of concurrent instance creations? network programmability?

open source= free software; cloud= affordable hardware; web= limitless collaboration; marketplaces= hyper efficient channels

platforms automate service delivery x services are processes = agility wins

a modern application is a distributed system by its very nature
