Facebook, Joyent and Sun have partnered to provide free scalable, on-demand infrastructure from Joyent to Facebook developers. Joyent’s Accelerator on-demand infrastructure provides the very best load balancers, routing and switching fabric, x86 servers and storage from Sun. Facebook developers can take advantage of Joyent Accelerators to quickly launch Facebook applications capable of scaling to millions of users. All for free. http://www.joyent.com/developers/facebook
I think this is an incredible opportunity for any developer out there who wants to dip their toe into what I believe to be one of the most exciting developments in technology right now. Joyent is a cloud computing company that has opened its services for free allowing you to kill two robotic birds with one innovative stone, social and cloud computing.
