traviskuhl··on Show HN: Backyard.io - We applied to YC (W12) and need some beta users
thanks for the feedback. you're not alone with that concern and it's something we thought a lot about in designing our infrastructure. we approached the problem in a few ways. 1) building as much of our technology on top of existing open source software. that way if you choose to move to a new product, your data is compatible and the transition will be much simpler. 2) making much of the infrastructure component based, so that you don't need to use everything all at one. you'll be able to slowly migrate data from existing services into our infrastructure. 3) your data will always be your own and exportable for you if you so choose. Backyard came out of our own experience at different startups. we spent valuable early engineering cycles setting up infrastructure, much of the time just recreating something that many other people had already built. so we understand the concerns about entrusting core pieces of a technology stack to a thrid-party. we plan on working closely with our users to help adress those concerns.

definitely good advice. part of the reason we decided to post today was to try to get a larger user base and figure out what services they're most interested in. we plan on keeping our initial beta groups small, so we can work closely with our users to figure out what services they love, what they don't really need and what we can add that would improve their experience.

we currently offer only a hosted git & svn option for scm. we definitely plan to offer integrations with GitHub in the future, because we think their service is awesome and we understand that a lot of businesses have already chosen them as their scm provider.

looks like our AWS load balancer has a corrupted chain cert. we're updating the balancer now and should have the problem fixed in a few. thanks for the screenshot! -travis

i think Github and similar hosted SCM providers are potential competitors. Atlassian’s line of enterprise products are also similar to our offerings. Github is definitely the company we fear (and have a crazy amount of respect and admiration for). At their core though I think Github and Backyard have different focus’. Github is focused on (and in my opinion succeeding at) being the best-in-breed Source Control platform, which means things like centralized authentication, deployment, continuous integration, internal communication, etc are not (currently) their focus. Backyard’s focus will be providing a complete integrated infrastructure platform. So while SCM will be an important component, it wont be the sole focus of our company.

no worries. thanks for the the feedback. i'm not able to reproduce, though. Chrome and Firebox both shows the SSL as valid and styles seem to be loading as expected. which versions do you have. -travis
traviskuhl··on Image manipulation on the fly + CDN = awesome
Yes. Currently our API supports pushing images to your S3 account (http://cdnimag.es/#anc_20). You can also use our clients for quicker integration (https://github.com/traviskuhl/cdnimages-clients/. currently only PHP, but we have a Perl & Ruby client coming soon)

that's what happens when you let developers do design. definitely plan to bring on a designer for the next version of the site.

We had been using this on a few of our side projects for a while now (since Amazon introduced custom origin servers on Cloudfront) and figured maybe it was something others would find useful. The systems is modeled after a similar system we used at Yahoo. Right now we're not charging or anything, just want to see if people find it useful before we expand. Let us know if you have any questions or have other features you'd like to see added.

good catch. thanks! should have proper filtering now. that's what i get for writing code at 2am and not properly reviewing.
