I was actually surprised to come across this today as I had no idea the magazine was speaking w/ our customer - Premièr Loges. Pretty kewl nonetheless.

I actually am at QCon San Francisco all week and did a talk last week that was quite well received. I will explain more in a separate blog entry, but Premièr Loges provides great validation for our ability to drop-in and allow existing apps to scale out. In fact, to date > 90% of our users use Terracotta for existing apps. And, many of those apps are distributing cache data to avoid the database or another system of record. My QCon talk was about drop-in database deflection and now this production usage refers to the same use case.

Enjoy...

Some things I think are very important for people to know:

1. Terracotta doesn't take hiring lightly. We believe the adage that a small, stellar team can do the work of many unmotivated individuals.

2. Our product gives our developers that rare chance to work at many levels, including application development (Spring, web apps, O/R-mapping, concurrency and eventing, etc.) , JVM internals, and at the kernel level.

3. Our field team loves what they do. They get kudos from customers every day; customers who see scaling challenges solved in hours that they expect to take weeks.

4. Our team is highly distributed and even though our headquarters is in San Francisco, CA relocation is not required. In fact, we gain efficiencies by being distributed.

The pace is fast. But the rewards are great.
