Adam Bosworth



  • Simple – Any “P” programmer can build apps.
  • Sloppy - add custom metadata or verbs
  • STANDARDS due to:
    • Single simple sloppy open wire format format
    • Runs on every platform, partly due to points 1 & 2.
  • Scale (Massive and Linear) due to:
    • DNS (partitioning)
    • Caching
    • Stateless
    • Coarse Grained interactions
