I can't see how the DB services are priced. Do you need an extra host for the DB?

waxzce6• 12 years ago

There is free shared DB service + in a few weeks a new DbaaS for dedicated instances

Fix the spelling mistakes on your landing page.

cnivolle5• 12 years ago

Oh, thanks. Where is it?

frakkingcylons• 12 years ago

In the section "We want you to be a happy developer", infrastructure is misspelled, as well as 'enough' in the "Smart and Industrialized Cloud" section.

Infinite Scalability

You come across as a little overconfident

everybody as limits ;-)

This looks 3x as expensive as Digital Ocean. What am I missing?

cnivolle5• 12 years ago

Well, DO is an IaaS, wich is different of a PaaS.

CC manage the entire software stack with auto-scalability and even app-crashing (auto restart).

Basically, the level of service is not the same, that's why the prices are different :)

rabino2• 12 years ago

I was looking at the 'solo' package. The cheapest one. Doesn't look to offer more than the server itself.

Why are you not using https on a page where I'm supposed to enter my password? I see it's submitting to a https URL but it stills feels a bit weird to not run everything with https especially in that field.

SSL certificate already ordered :)

I cannot find any information about where they run their infrastructure. It might be important for legal reasons and might be a differentiator.

It looks very similar to heroku.

It's not clear how the load is computed and how the scaling decisions are made.

cnivolle5• 12 years ago

Our servers are based near Paris, in two Tiers 4+ DC. But we are pretty close to open a point of presence in North America :)

Load is computed on two metrics: CPU and RAM, scaling events are triggered when one of this metrics is aboce 85%.

Thank you for the response! I'm actually very interested in this kind of products, it might look like there is already choice in this area, but I don't think so; there is still space for doing something different and better.

I'd have thousands of questions, but I guess I'll just focus on this:

* Over how much time are the load metrics computed? For how long do they have to go above 85% to trigger a scale?

* Do you compute the average load across all scalers? Or some percentile?

* Can these parameters be tuned ? Can the load and the scaling decisions be seen (a part from the bill?)

* Assuming other bottlenecks (like IO), you won't notice high CPU or RAM load, but you would notice a spike in response time. Do you allow, or have any plans, to include other metrics in the scaler or to allow customers to export custom metrics?

* Do you allow to spawn long running background processes. If yes, how does it interact with the CPU load based scaling?

ADDED:

* Can the user add placement constraints when deploying an app in multiple DCs ? Can the scalers themselves span multiple DCs in the same region. If not do you plan offering access to configuring loadbalancers to serve traffic to multiple app instances serving as a single logical app?

Saw many errors popping up on browser console. Fix them - make them welcoming. Always increases confidence in the product.

waxzce6• 12 years ago

ok, we will do it

smileysteve• 12 years ago

So, this listens to commits to master, but doesn't have any testing between a merge and a deploy?

waxzce6• 12 years ago

We will lanch something cool ASAP about that ;-)

I cannot wait until we get through this video background fad...
