There are quite a few nice <a href="http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.1.0.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/html/new-in-3.1.html">additions</a> but one feature that I find really interesting is <a href="http://blog.springsource.com/2011/02/11/spring-framework-3-1-m1-released/">Bean Definition Profiles</a> which will allow me to stop shuffling configuration files using Maven build profiles.</p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YvekXwM0cJLuetOr750tpLWeZcA/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YvekXwM0cJLuetOr750tpLWeZcA/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YvekXwM0cJLuetOr750tpLWeZcA/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YvekXwM0cJLuetOr750tpLWeZcA/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p> Tomas Markauskas tag:tomas.markauskas.net,2005:Post/6 2011-12-06T20:52:21Z 2011-12-06T20:58:39Z <p>It's always very interesting for me to read how different companies operate and what technologies they use. Here's a <a href="http://instagram-engineering.tumblr.com/post/13649370142/what-powers-instagram-hundreds-of-instances-dozens-of">nice article from the engineers at Instagram</a> about their infrastructure. They use Route 53 for their DNS, elastic load balancing and lots of EC2 instances for their application and database servers. And they managed to scale to over 14 million users in a year having just 3 engineers.</p> <p>Via <a href="http://afreshcup.com/home/2011/12/5/double-shot-766.html">A Fresh Cup</a></p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/1O4nOrMBwzxzf9hmw1G2fq5zuPo/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/1O4nOrMBwzxzf9hmw1G2fq5zuPo/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/1O4nOrMBwzxzf9hmw1G2fq5zuPo/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/1O4nOrMBwzxzf9hmw1G2fq5zuPo/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p> Tomas Markauskas tag:tomas.markauskas.net,2005:Post/5 2011-11-17T22:22:44Z 2011-11-17T22:25:08Z <p>Today is the launch of the <a href="http://www.google.com/nexus/">Galaxy Nexus</a> so I've read quite a few reviews. <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2011/11/17/2568348/galaxy-nexus-review">This one by Joshua Topolsky on The Verge</a> is probably my favourite. There's also a nice <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeZ8sfJjoRI">video</a> at the end for lazy readers. In the meantime I'm still waiting for my Nexus which should arrive sometime at the beginning of December.</p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/POjy-sT0Dp1wq94bsyCUSiGqg2k/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/POjy-sT0Dp1wq94bsyCUSiGqg2k/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/POjy-sT0Dp1wq94bsyCUSiGqg2k/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/POjy-sT0Dp1wq94bsyCUSiGqg2k/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p> Tomas Markauskas tag:tomas.markauskas.net,2005:Post/4 2011-11-17T19:38:15Z 2011-11-17T19:39:34Z <p>I was very happy this morning to read the announcement that the <a href="http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2011/11/aws-management-console-now-supports-amazon-route-53.html">AWS Management Console now supports Amazon Route 53</a>. It already has an API which can be used to create hosted zones and add records to them, but I only have a few domains so I didn't want to mess around with it. Nothing can stop me now from moving all of my domains to the cloud.</p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Q9h1kRLxIsZ7TZ89Lung1563iR4/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Q9h1kRLxIsZ7TZ89Lung1563iR4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Q9h1kRLxIsZ7TZ89Lung1563iR4/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Q9h1kRLxIsZ7TZ89Lung1563iR4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p> Tomas Markauskas tag:tomas.markauskas.net,2005:Post/1 2011-11-11T23:39:47Z 2011-11-11T23:41:47Z <p>There are still quite a few things to do here, but I needed to start somewhere.
