Hi Thomas, fellow Copenhagen developer here. I understand how you are transitioning the product to Elastic APM. I'm simply curious of the motives. Why would you want to do that instead of building your own product at your own company? Wasn't Opbeat profitable, yet?
- watson 9y agoNo we never intended to be profitable at this point in our development. So that was never really a problem. We had actually just secured our next round of funding when Elastic approached us, so money was not an issue. We honestly believe that our chances of doing something great is bigger with Elastic than alone. It's true that we could have continued without joining with Elastic, but we felt it was the right thing to do :) Personally I'm a huge believer of open source, and Elastic is an open source company. That's one of the reasons why I'm super exited about this. I think this move will benefit everyone :)
