I'm very interested in this, as I come from the web world yet find myself in a company that has a 30-year legacy of putting business logic into the database. It served them really well, and that they run quite lean in terms of hardware. But they're built on Microsoft tech ($$$), and moving things to a traditional database=datastore cloud architecture would require a substantial change. Does anyone have resources they can point me to on the wisdom or folly of keeping this logic-in-database approach? It seems like the tradeoffs in the different approaches are all about where the smarts are, and whether you can horizontally scale those smarts. Does that sound accurate?

The real question is whether you are going to ship your code to your data or your data to your code.
