Startup Lessons Learned

SEPTEMBER 15, 2008

But by taking advantage of open source, agile software, and iterative development, lean startups can operate with much less waste. I am heavily indebted to earlier theorists, and highly recommend the books Lean Thinking and Lean Software Development. The Lean Startup Intensive is tomorrow at Web 2.0. No more, no less.

Johan proposes a framework that describes the various layers of cloud platform services starting from virtualized hardware up to end-user software applications. This framework can also be used to categorize various cloud platforms such as OpenStack, Amazon Web Services, Heroku and CloudFoundry. Communicate.

Hence, a new approach was needed (our database software running on commodity clusters) which would allow companies to load and query terabytes of data at 10-100x performance and scale over traditional vendors. Red-shift companies tend to be Web 2.0 Ok-enough of the sales pitch. while blue-shift companies will grow relative to GDP.

ROBLOX ( www.roblox.com ) is a web/game startup in Silicon Valley that you have probably never heard of--unless you were an eight year old boy, in which case you're probably not qualified for this position. Our team dabbles in everything from S3 and EC2 cloud services to SIMD and assembly code. We have a deep technology stack.

Especially when there are things like: Amazon S3 / EC2 / AWS outage this morning. Finally we get to: Peter Coffee , Director of Platform Research, Salesforce.com His premise is that we should be beyond having to buy servers, software, or any other infrastructure. Amazon EC2 - uses it for natural language processing.

Here is one summary graph that we found the most useful: The top line represents average response time on the site (we had one of these graphs for web traffic, and one for client traffic). Some software just doesn’t even handle non-UTC time properly, so don’t do it! S3/EC2 for storing and serving file blocks.

Towards the end of the meeting, it started to become quite clear to me the effect that Google and the web has had on IT to date and where it was going. IT folks leveraged the web and Google not just for applications but also to download core software to help run their internal operations.

But it is fraught with risks - and the primary risk you need to guard against is software development failure. Vendor long-list - build a “long-list&# of possible software vendors and NDA them all, but don‚Äôt rely on it (more on this later). Award contract - Negotiate a software development contract.

Machines and clouds fail, even on EC2. You’ll always have my cell phone number — if our software breaks, you can call me 24/7 and I’ll get my team on it. Which Web Services Should Gnip Integrate Next? If Amazon is up, we’ll get the data. The best way to guard against machine failure is duplicate hardware.

We picked a write oriented benchmark using the standard Cassandra "stress" tool that is part of the product, and Denis ran and analyzed the tests on Amazon EC2 instances. The time taken by EC2 to create 288 new instances was about 15 minutes out of our total of 66 minutes. All instances are created using the EC2 auto-scaler feature.

As we and our collaborators prepare Round 9 of our Framework Benchmarks project, we had an epiphany: With high-performance software, a single modern server processes over 1 million HTTP requests per second. It''s possible even higher numbers would be reported had we tested a purpose-built static web server such as nginx.

We put all of this infrastructure in an Exodus web hosting facility and had to pay for rack space, bandwidth and some management services if a disk failed, for example. At the time we viewed Amazon’s offering, EC2 as too nascent. No wonder people had to raise $5 million just to get started back then. We raised $16.5
