Riiight… and to scale let’s just add more machines and make our object retrieval about an order of magnitude slower…

Remember Fowler’s 1st law of distributed object design? “Don’t distribute your objects!”

Don’t forget to mention the 4 reasons to use distributed computing:

1. It’s your boss’s new favorite buzzword
2. Great way to make your app “enterprisey”
3. You can’t deliver your app unless it’s “Web 2.0″, “cloud computing” or “distributed computing”
4. Need a way to answer your customer’s question, “It looks great, but does it use distributed computing?”
