From Push to Pull

Posted by Dan Creswell in Business, Systems

Push versus pull is a constant debate in techie land. Interestingly, a lot of the web is adopting pull techniques. I wonder if some of that is leaking into these other areas or whether it’s just a general trend away from centralized solutions which we know don’t scale.

In any case, this is an interesting read and recommended by none other than Werner Vogels.

Scary reading for the control freaks and another example of decentralized control/intelligence. Of course, a few minutes thought makes it clear that pull is not good for everything.
