Amazon Web Services just got a huge shout-out today with this news. I self manage a large Web property that has 25+ AWS instances, plus some metal with ServerBeach and 1000TB.com. I also personally do all the development work on the site, as well as managing day-to-day operations and most support.

Yes, it is possible to run a multi-million dollar business by yourself with lots of servers, thanks to the cloud - in this case AWS.

Holy Cow! www.radioreference.com is that big already? Props! 570k users and 3k feeds = that infra? Streaming must be a bitch.
