Hi Sean,

Thanks for the quick response. I'll use load-balancers to distribute the load.

We already have a whole bunch of processing on the data written in Python and 
PHP, and porting them to Javascript is (1) very tedious, and (2) Javascript 
does not support the required functionality. For example, we do a bunch of NLP 
analysis on the data.

Given these, is it advisable if I expose these processes as webservices and 
call them from javascript/erlang?

Pythonistas, where art thou? :)
