&lt;p&gt;Fue a Bjarne Stroustrup a quién le leí que “un sistema grande y
complejo que no ha evolucionado a partir de otro más simple que
funcionaba bien, no funciona y, además, es imposible arreglarlo para
que funcione” (creo que esto es del libro The Design and Evolution of
C++ publicado en 1994). Tal hipótesis se comprobó empíricamente muchas
veces en el siglo XX y es por eso que se cambió el foco a proyectos
ágiles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the modern era, software is commonly delivered as a service: called
web apps, or software-as-a-service. The twelve-factor app is a
methodology for building software-as-a-service apps that: Use
declarative formats for setup automation, to minimize time and cost
for new developers joining the project; Have a clean contract with the
underlying operating system, offering maximum portability between
execution environments; Are suitable for deployment on modern cloud
platforms, obviating the need for servers and systems administration;
Minimize divergence between development and production, enabling
continuous deployment for maximum agility; And can scale up without
significant changes to tooling, architecture, or development
practices. The twelve-factor methodology can be applied to apps
written in any programming language, and which use any combination of
backing services (database, queue, memory cache, etc).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You must have heard about The Internet map by now. If not, you can
take a look at it here. Roughly speaking, the Internet Map displays
websites’ location according to users’ behavior. Similar websites
visited by the same people are situated close to one another;
different websites not having mutual visitors are situated at a
considerable distance from each other. The size of a website on the
map is determined by its average click rating while the color is
defined by belonging to a nationality. You can get a more detailed
notion referring to the About section on the website of the Map.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the present article I would like to tell you how the website of The
Internet map is organized, which technologies ensure its normal
day-to-day functioning and what steps had to be taken in order to
sustain a massive surge of visitors wishing to have a look at the map.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The operability of the Internet Map is enabled by present-day
internet-giants’ technologies: the Map’s visual display is powered by
Google Maps engine by Google Inc., web query processing is performed
with Microsoft’s .net technologies, while Amazon Web Services by
Amazon is responsible for hosting and content delivery. All the three
components are vital for the Map’s normal operation. With some effort,
alternatives can be found, but I am not confident that it will bring
much of a benefit.&lt;/p&gt;
