How did you find your first customers, and how did you get them to trust you enough to build their apps on your infrastructure?
- chrdlu 10y agoI found them after Parse shut down. I tested them out with a small meeting for coffee app and found it to work very well. After the recent add of custom logic via AWS Lambda, I am using them to build a larger travel app.
- vning93 10y agoGreat to hear that things are working out well for you! Let me know when you launch. Would love to show it off on our community page.
- mparis 10y agoHey that is a great question. Our very first customers were actually some of our friends. We promised them free service for their trust which helped us identify pain points and iterate before we initially launched last May. Since then we have seen a lot of our users find us through tutorials and other educational content that we've written. In terms of how we got users to trust us, Slack has been an invaluable tool. We have a really friendly community of developers that we speak to every day and I think that has gone a long way to developing trust. It wasn't always smooth sailing and the platform has grown a lot but we try to be as transparent as possible and address problems as soon as they arise. We've dedicated a lot of time to building out our architecture, security, and scalability and I'm happy to discuss that with those interested. We are really passionate about what we are building and we hope that our customers see that and can rest easy knowing that we are working around the clock to make sure their applications run smoothly.
