All of you should know that this was paid with campaign dollars, not government funds. To pretend otherwise is an incredible indictment of our education system and an example of the assault on k-12 civics courses.

Previous Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5542368 The diagram follows the style of the AWS Reference Architectures[0]. I have yet to find a published set of diagram components that compare well to that style. Edit: Juan Domenech[1] has a small custom made component pallet in png form.

Oh well, I guess GAE is for toy project ahem.
Harper Reed and Scott VanDenPlas did a talk / Q&A at the Chicago AWS meetup group a few months ago. My hazy recollection of the salient points of the talk: 1) This represents a heterogenous set of services where the engineers in charge of each service were more-or-less free to use whatever technology stack they were most comfortable with. 2) Use puppet for provisioning everything. (There is some subtlety Scott went i…

Also the same group that created Y Combinator, Hacker News, and the Internet. If you don't like it, you can see yourself out.
