Sendgrid
It was announced Tuesday that email management startup SendGrid had raised $5 million in Series A financing from a handful of prominent investors, including Foundry Group , Highway 12 Ventures , Dave McClure , David Cohen and Wordpress founder Matt Mullenweg . SendGrid, a graduate of last year's summer TechStars program, launched last fall and raised some seed funding from many of the same investors on its way to sending nearly 1.2 billion emails for its over 4,000 clients. SendGrid is a cloud-based service that helps companies, big and small, manage automatic transactional emails sent to its users while also providing analytics and delivery assurance. A demo plan gives companies 200 free emails per month, and after that monthly prices range from $10 for 10,000 emails, to $800 for 500,000 emails, along with a few other premium features.

Since 2007, we've been working on making Java web application development easier. Play started as an internal project at Zenexity and was heavily influenced by our way of doing web projects: focusing on developer productivity, respecting Web architecture, and from the start employing a fresh approach to packaging conventions.
Blog: What is an ECU? CPU Benchmarking in the Cloud
NOTE: This post has been updated after it's original writing. The original CPU performance metrics did not accurately depict performance on multi-core servers. The updated post utilizes an improved method of calculating CPU performance that applies more weight to multi-core aware benchmarks (see benchmarks description below for more info). Over the past couple of months we've spent some time benchmarking about 150 different cloud server configurations with 20 different vendors. This included all 8 AWS EC2 instances types (m1.small - m2.4xlarge) in all 4 regions (32 servers total for EC2). The benchmark suite we ran includes about 100 different benchmarks from synthetic benchmarks measuring raw CPU performance such as Unixbench and Geekbench to higher level application benchmarks such as mysql-bench, pgbench, tpcc-mysql and blog bench.
Being a new hire obviously meant that I didn’t know the code base. Being just a few weeks away from launch obviously meant that there was a strong focus and getting something out the door. So the first thing I did is start making huge, sweeping fundamental architecture changes like swapping out all the XML REST stuff with JSON, and switching the JSON parser that was currently being used with JSONKit , because JSONKit is really, really fast .
