If you've ever used elasticsearch and needed monitoring and alerting for your cluster without the overhead of running tools in the cluster itself, you'll realize there's not many options. So came up with the idea to separate monitoring and alerting for elasticsearch clusters to create Pulse. Close to launch. https://www.espulse.com/

What's that? 14 years ago

I'm curious if videos really do scare people away. If you take a look at dropbox and cloudflare they do a really good job at using a video to demonstrate their product. Now taking into consideration the size of dropbox's and cloudflare's users, I'm more inclined to the idea that "videos work".

Props to the innovation, but in terms of reaching the consumer market I doubt the appeal will suffice for widespread reach. Even if it did, a licensing deal would be more appropriate just for the sake of them investing in the innovation which is what they're good at, not distribution.

It does seem quite funny, but it's totally plausible. Although, I highly doubt that it's a definite measure for future success. I myself used to do the same(buy from Sam's Club and resell in school) while in middle school(now a senior in college), but I'm no where near close to a million dollar success...yet :). What would suck though is that if and when I do have some kind of success, this story would be kinda overused, so I do understand where you're coming from. Guess we need to teach our kids something else to make money off of...
