OPI (Other people's infrastructure)
summary
Claims that you can skip managing servers and databases and just use Heroku, Engine Yard, Cloud Foundry, AWS RDS, MongoHQ/MongoLab, Cloudant, SendGrid, Twilio, Zencoder, Transloadit, Pusher, PubNub, Urban Airship and others to iterate faster and avoid ops. Specific tradeoffs: don't host your own DB because RDS and hosted Mongo scale for you, pricing surprises like hosted Redis $110/mo for 500MB vs $20 VPS, and services like Twilio ≈1¢ per SMS. SLAs and backups still require planning.
