Yup be careful on this site!


Sqreen.io does this for ruby gems as part of its offering.


Chase Ink Business preferred is awesome - and it gives you 3x points on Internet Marketing spend (i.e. Adwords/FB):

"on advertising purchases made with social media sites and search engines each account anniversary year"


Art, ML, Hedgefunds, what could go wrong?


Huh? Nate is one of most genuine, helpful folks in the industry.


We've continually raised the price on our product as we grow and add features. It was nerve wracking at first, but now are confident enough in our product that we feel good standing behind our pricing.

We are targeting larger, more stable customers, and have historically found the ones that say our pricing is too expensive are the ones that require much more support and maintenance. Have no issue seeing them go to cheaper competitors - while our target clients don't bat an eye at our pricing (which is still probably too low for that segment).


tres commas :)


Never mind they would use dots to indicate thousands in Latin America


Ah yes, my favourite tequila ;)


GREAT product from a great guy!


Would this solution allow one to secure multiple TLDs on one Heroku endpoint/application?


Not currently but it's on the roadmap.


Can someone explain to me why I would consider moving from Heroku to CaaS? Saving $300/month sure as hell doesn't seem worth it.


There are various reasons, but here are a few of the big ones:

1. Getting ahead of your costs before they start to shoot up as you grow. Check out this pricing calculator for an idea of what I mean: http://containership.io/#pricing

2. Cloud portability: Heroku runs in 2 AWS regions (us-east-1, eu-west-1). What happens if you want to host in a specific country, a completely different provider (maybe you have some free credits?) or even your own data center eventually? Not gonna happen with heroku.

3. More flexibility to run the types of databases, queues, or other open source software that isn't possible to run on Heroku.

4. With CaaS you have root access to the servers powering your software, where Heroku is more of a black box. Remember what happened with (rap)Genius? http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/14/heroku-admits-to-performanc...
