Just signed our 3rd customer with TrueCast (600€/month) (https://www.truecast.fr/), which is Granola for tech and non-tech recruiters. Rather than replacing recruiters in the HR process, we want to give them real time hard skills knowledge superpowers so they can better assess candidates before submitting them to their teams. We are convinced that recruiting should remain human-first.

There’s also a bot option, for self-conducted interviews, mostly used for open applications for some pre-filtering.

We are still unsure on how to enter such market, so we are doing direct networking atm, if you guys have an idea on how you’d do it or want a free trial of the product we’d love having a chat with you about it.

What’s the current roadmap regarding supported technologies and cloud providers ?

Won’t have a lot of Spanish users (Vox is a far right Spanish political group…)

Definitely the nº1 missing feature. Hope it arrives soon :)

Wow man, send that message to the guy that made you mad.

If you make a mistake with excessive resources allocation, you can get in touch with aws and ask for a refund and they will gladly do so.

I’ve had to do it a couple of times for personal and profesional accounts, and I’ve never had any rejections from them

Not sure what the problem is, if anybody exceeds the expected « normal usage » we simply get in touch and fix the issue.

Lessons learned for everybody, it’s a win-win situation.

Hmmm, weird.

We always get the alerts in time with thresholds set to 70% of the wished value.

25 at the moment :)

We give each one of our developers their very own aws account managed through AWS organizations service. They are full administrators and responsible for resources and cost.

So far we haven’t had any issues or bad surprises, although we have setup some aws billing alerts just in case.

Feel free to make them responsible for cost and resources and you’ll be surprised how well they can manage their own account.

For GetMyMFA I ended up surprising myself seeing that people would discover the product from tech forums and FAQs.

I’d therefore recommend thinking where your users are on the web / what they are searching for and try to join active discussions where your product might be relevant.

PS: I just realized I’m trying to do exactly that in HN right now :D

Yes! Currently working on selecting the best source of information about this topic and thinking about how to display it appropriately (e.g. comparing French inflation with EU average or world average?).

I am also working on the climate impact of the french population :)

> Out of curiosity: What is/was your motivation behind this and how does it correlate to elections?

What motivated me is the simple fact that during this presidential campaign we would have one candidate saying that his presidential balance has been "very good", and on the other side all the opponents have been constantly stating that it has been a "disaster". During these last months, I have been unable to find a "neutral" and global way of see the impact Macron has had during the last 5 years. I therefore wanted to build this website in order to have a dashboard showing national statistics on key topics.

> Showing election dates of French presidents looks like a classic and rather obvious case of correlation does not imply causation.

I wanted to show the presidential election dates precisely to showcase this: It really almost doesn't matter which president France has. I believe that the macroeconomic variations follow World/European variations. And unfortunately, I feel that too many people believe that the presidents are "destroying" or "saving" the country.

> Might well be that I don't have the full picture though and I was not following French campaigns. Is there a public debate/ general public opinion in France that presidents had significant influence on these indicators shown?

I guess that there has probably been debates and studies about this, but from my experience I can say that presidents cannot influence too much the trends that the country is following.

Ng2-charts and the chartjs-plugin-annotation, the website has been built using ant design NgZorro :)

I fully agree with you on the theoretical reasons why SMS-based MFA is bad and should stop being used at some point.

In the meantime, try explaining a random user how to setup and use a TOTP for your application, I wish you good luck.

Once every business is able to enable TOTP-based MFA for their applications, it'll be a great day for cyber and my side project will cease existing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Was thinking that as well, but still haven't found out the best way to contact a group of potentially interested founders. Do you think cold-messaging might be worth the effort and not be too "spammy" ?

Thanks for the tip, I was thinking that perhaps it might be too soon to announce a v1 of the product in such lists, do you still think it might be worth it?

Thank you very much for the kind words! Let me know if you'd like to discuss about the "well managed and tested bypass", I'm sure it could be a very interesting conversation ;)

I personally just released https://get.mymfa.io. A platform allowing you to share Multi-Factor Authentication codes safely and easily for Quality Assurance and App Store review processes :)

Hi, thanks for that! I fixed the link by editing the post!

Thank you both for the tip! Will start working on it right away!

Thanks for the links and the strategies to aim for. Will start working on it right away! :)

What kind of experimentations would you recommend? I'm thinking about sharing the product in specialized dev blogs and running Twitter sponsored tweets ads. What would you also try?

Thanks for the tip.

The question now would be: How do I figure out what exact phrases are my potential customers looking for? I've tried using google trends but unfortunately there is "not sufficient data", I presume it is because my problematic might be too specific?

Any tips?

Thanks a lot for the shared resources. I'll try working on the tips provided there :)

Thanks a lot for the quick suggestion. What you're thinking of would be running social network posting and/or adds? Is there something I am missing?

I absolutely agree with you, we are currently implementing a fully serverless and event-driven infrastructure and thinking about logging, traceability and debugging across 200+ lambda functions has been quite a pain. This is even more important as we manage financial flows.

We have written an article about how we try to fix that, if you are considering such an infrastructure on AWS feel free to read it:

https://medium.com/ekonoo-tech-finance/centralizing-log-mana...

I believe that this is one of the big tradeoffs that you make when choosing to go for a microservices and event driven infrastructure.

Regarding the original post question, we are indeed going all in on an event-driven infra, and so far it has been going not too bad, happy to answer any extra questions.

Have you changed your mind after reading it as suggested by the article?

I am glad Google is finally trying to catch up with the basic features of AWS infinidash. They have still got a lot to do!

He's been doing similar jokes about MacOS names since a couple of years :)
