In every company I worked at, Salesforce and HubSpot has been a struggle. The sync breaks, the Salesforce logs are hard to decipher. We had a full-time person dedicated to reconciling the billing with the CRM, and even sometimes manually syncing them yeesh. Im sure they’d be thankful for any tools that could help - happy to connect you if you’d like. Info in my profile
Out of curiosity, how do you guys detect sync issues? Will you handle the reverse-ETL side as well?
Thanks Omarshammas! We pull data from your different software (Chargebee, Stripe, Salesloft), allow you to create business rules and we alert in real-time when it's broken. We do send back the data into Salesforce (reverse ETL) for stuff such as missing Deal ID.
I'm building a new website and am using sidekiq for background job processing which relies on redis behind the scenes to store all the job data. I configured a high availability redis instance with `maxmemory-policy noeviction` to ensure no data is lost.
The website is still in its infancy so not thinking about scale for the next little while but curious if you have any tips or gotchas to keep an eye out for. Thanks!
I would ensure that the data size is managed if you hit the limits due to your policy Redis will stop responding to ensure the data it has isn’t lost. I would also turn on some sort of persistence for data recovery in case of catastrophic failure. Early on this is totally fine and I would setup some monitors in redis data size relative to memory and try to keep 20% overhead weird things start to happen when systems are memory constrained.

Services (unlike products) are typically constrained by the number of personnel available.
How does Amazon determine a company's availability when a customer books a job?
Most of these business I'd guess are probably in the 1-10 people range and probably not the most tech savvy. I can't imagine an adequate solution unless Amazon provides scheduling software and enforces adoption.
If you look at the list of services, it's basically a list that does not include any service that requires an appointment. My company does scheduling for small businesses and, in industries like auto, there's just a maximum number of appointments each day that we're allowed to book.
It looks like Amazon punted on the hard part by constraining the availability to only specific services.
Not that I spend my bitcoins often but it if I did I would have to manually update it within the app. With a coinbase integration it would just be in sync.
What to cook for dinner is a recurring problem in my house, and this feature makes it really easy to try out new dishes and get ideas.
My only complaint is that they try to obscure prices. Item prices only appear upon hover or if they appear on the side they're grayed out and difficult to find. It resembles fine print.
Parsley.js is absolutely fantastic. I've been able to cover 95% of my usual form validation for various websites by just including a few attributes on my form inputs. That is about as elegant as form validation can get in my opinion. Some of your functionality is already covered but I'm pretty sure they don't have some of the Canada specific functionality you have. Might warrant a Parsley plugin.
