Epic Move: An AWS Exodus
For an early stage start-up, it's hard to beat the speed of delivery, operational off-loading, and agility that Amazon Web Services makes possible.

A mission that would ultimately entail the creation of one of the world's largest OpenStack Swift clusters and the migration of more than 10 petabytes of data and a host of distributed services including PostgreSQL, Redis, and Cassandra.
