Consider checking https://appfleet.com as well, we worked a lot to simplify the process with a nice UI and a constantly improving UX

Disclosure: I work for appfleet

While influx is pretty bad overall it's super simple to deploy and configure unlike timescale.

It's the main reason we decided to use influx in our small team with simple enough timeseries needs

My contract had things like "investors majority" and supervisory board with lots of power where I only had 1 vote.

Those 2 things together could force me to do almost anything if they really wanted.

It's all in the details.

https://appfleet.com/blog Lots of Docker related content and tutorials both for advanced users and beginners

That's too bad, I'm based in Poland but I used them often to register trademarks in the US and ask legal questions about doing business there. It was very helpful and transparent with pricing.

Are there any good alternatives?

jsDelivr | Developer Relations/Marketing/Community manager | Fulltime/Part-time | Remote

jsDelivr https://www.jsdelivr.com/ is a free CDN for open source projects.

We are looking for active and energetic individuals interested in the javascript ecosystem and working with open source projects and developers.

Even though we are the most advanced free CDN out there, not many people know about us. Your job would be to work with open source developers, build a community and come up with creative and effective marketing ideas to let people know about how our technology can make their dev life easier.

Ideally you would be located in USA to have the ability to visit conferences and meetups to make presentations about our technology and problems we solve.

Apply at: dak [at] prospectone.io

jsDelivr was the only free CDN that stayed online during the outage thanks to Multi-CDN.

PerfOps | Senior PHP Developer | Krakow, Poland | ONSITE, VISA, Full-time | https://perfops.net/

We are looking for experienced PHP developers to help us build and maintain new features while staying fast and stable under high load.

You will be working with systems that gather and analyze billions of data points and make the data available to our users via dashboard and API that also integrates with our global load-balancing system.

We are a young and high energy startup with a friendly non-corporate environment and we are looking for self-motivated and driven people to help us grow fast!

Our office in Krakow is brand new and we are happy to help with relocation.

CDNPerf is owned by PerfOps, a VC funded startup. Lots of info here https://perfops.net

Hopefully they offer easy upgrades and high availability. I always loved the simplicity of their services. Would also love a way to deploy 1 app to multiple locations with ease

Ryan is not going to allow any sites to break. Still, everyone should switch to an alternative

It was a really cool project and I think the first to offer this kind of features. Sad to see it go.

But right now jsDelivr supports both GitHub and npm as source for CDN files. So here is an easy tool for migration https://www.jsdelivr.com/rawgit

A close friend of mine also got multiple emails from sales telling that he is using too much bandwidth on the Pro plan and asking to upgrade to $2000/month+ or "else". But they were not able to define what would happen otherwise. Now I guess its just a scare tactic?

Azure is reseller of Verizon, which is ex-Edgecast

Yes, its the only public pricing we could find for Akamai and some other providers

That's the reason they are not listed :) They don't have a clear pricing like the other CDNs. They have internal limits and overages for bandwidth but its not public.

Too expensive

https://www.jsdelivr.com is a good alternative. We actually monitor for https failures and automatically remove the problematic CDN.

If you want to see the performance from even more locations here is a more detailed benchmark https://www.cdnperf.com/tools/cdn-latency-benchmark/0d8b484e...

Or you can even use a CLI https://perfops.net/cli to run custom tests from any location

You can get performance stats over here https://www.dnsperf.com/#!dns-resolvers

What was the point of acquiring Tutum killing it, rebranding to Docker Cloud and killing it as well.

Tutum actually worked and I really liked it. Now I plan to use Rancher on top of kubernetes for my docker hosting

Very interesting. Here are some random questions I personally have after operating a company in Europe for 3 years and planning to move the business to USA.

- Do I need to document every single expense with invoices similar to vat?

- What kind of expenses I can write off to my business? Apartment, house, car lease?

- What kind of salary to founders pay themselves?

- Do you hire yourself at the company or only pay yourself dividends as a salary? That's a popular method in Poland for founders to lower their income tax

- What's a popular visa used for this? I am looking at L1 but I am not sure how the connection between companies is established

- How demanding are the investors? If growth is slower than expected are there problems?

I would actually be happy to pay someone to get answers. But not sure who. A lawyer seems overkill for some of the basic questions.

That is correct. We use Hetzner and before that OVH

Yes but again it's too expensive to support our data. We rent servers with 16threads 128gb ram and 250ssd ssd raid for ~$100/month.

The cloud option would cost thousands for the same resources.

I understand that small customers like us are not interesting to bigger USA companies. But it's still something I wish was possible

We use influxdb as well at http://www.dnsperf.com

No issues so far except of course the initial difficulty correctly setting up the tables and continuous queries.

The main problem for us is that clustering is available only to the enterprise version which is way too expensive for a small self funded company like ours. I wish they offered more options without any support and a big discount.

I am making the same decision right now. Unfortunately Stripe is not an option because they don't support Poland :(

All traffic is served by CDN sponsors for free. But I pay for most servers, services and freelancers like designers and developers.

It costs a lot when I do changes requiring external help which is quite often.

Definitely jsDelivr https://github.com/jsdelivr/jsdelivr

Billions of requests every month. Building the service is pure joy. I have lots of new features coming like a new website, stats per project and more.

Code locally and wait for Github to come back to commit. Its an annoyance but not super critical

I am personally using Rancher with Docker to deploy my apps. I like the web-ui and 1.6.1 is stable to use in production.
