How much do you trust cloud services / outside hosts with proprietary info? I agree with James and disagree with Jacco. There's no reason not to build an encrypted credential or other bundle w/ your cloud instance deployment strategy as a hedge against an instance being compromised. The level of security Jacco is advising is inherently impractical for a cloud solution. |

What's more important: releasing early or getting it right? +1 For avoiding premature optimization. Avoid all of the things you know will be shooting yourself in the foot, wire up measurement for both performance and business metrics. Care, feed, and improve your successes and eliminate your problems/failures. |
