At my company we built accounting on top of Xero.com API. Even at our small scale we're already busting their capacity. Some reports can't even be generated anymore because we have too much transactions.

This post is a fascinating outlook of how things can be ran at big corp. I always wondered how big companies did accounting. This stuff can't be outsourced since it's so tightly coupled to your business logic.

Is there any tech conferences geared toward this stuff?

Any accounting saas that can scale indefinitely? As opposed to Xero?

Need to wait for AWS to release a version of Airbnb's system. ;)

Many big corporations use SAP or Oracle.
