Re:Apollo: Spotify's Java libraries for writing micro-services

Unlike Dropwizard, it is really intended for an asynchronous model of development. You don't have to worry about pushing the concurrency limits of an OS by starting thousands of threads if your application has a high ratio of callouts (disk, network IO) to computation (CPU), as is common with a lot of microservices. I guess this approach works best if your app's dependencies are convenient for asynchronous calls as well - HTTP, Cassandra, etc.

If the medium is the message, Andreessen can't quite get his thoughts together without the help of others.
