I'm pretty sure that it's down to hard disk performance. I don't recall exact numbers but difference in IOPS between my development machine and a build server in the cloud (Azure) was greatly in favour of the former.
I use MySQL in my system but the advice should be applicable to Postgres as well: keep your test database in a ramdisk. By moving my MySQL to ramdisk I got almost a tenfold improvement when running tests on a build server. Not so much (but also significant) improvement when running tests on my development machine.
Sad to say but it doesn't add much value and it makes certain tasks harder even. For instance it makes it very hard (or almost impossible) to use that same html templates on the backend and on the frontend side of things.
I wonder, how technically can you move something like Trello to AWS in such short period of time? Do you think they had a plan prepared for such contingency?
