Today we have an odd collection of articles. First, Amazon posted resources for migrating Parse applications to AWS. With all of the hype surrounding the shutdown, I am surprised it took this long for them to post something like this. Pinterest talks about their internal deployment system, Teletraan. This is important mainly because they plan on open-sourcing the system later this year. Flowing Data gives us a very interesting visualization about which professions marry which professions. It is very interesting to explore the relationships of the various careers in this way.

As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
