Seems like the move away from AWS to it's own infrastrucutre is starting to pay dividends. 33% GM to 67% in two years is certainly impressive!

Another great find.

Yeah wasn't Dropbox one of the first big things that was built on top of S3?

Amazing to re-engineer that.

Friendly heads up: "its" is possessive (like his or hers) whereas "it's" is a contraction of "it" and "is".

I really want to file this as a bug report in the English language.

English is my second language and I barely notice most mistakes but this and the death of proper use of "whose" really, really bother me for some reason.
