It means we want to build a similarly accessible platform for microservices/faas as what github did with git repos. We use them as basis of comparison because we have a lot of respect for their product/ideas and we are inspired by them a lot (well sometimes we just simply steal ideas from them, haha).
I guess we are trying to convey the idea that it's a complete product from user management to charging - you could install it for your company or launch a web hosting company with it.
- Sharma 9y agoInteresting launch. Last month for Producthunt hackathon I was planning to create something similar by using openfaas, but did not(just like many other ideas/side projects we all have here :-)). One questions that bothered me a lot was how to define pricing for such product? Would you be able to throw some light on how you/your team came up with the sustainable plan and pricing you have?
- friendly_chap 9y agoHi Sharma! The basic idea in terms of pricing was low cost and low maintenance for low traffic things: when someone is not running anything substantial even 10 quid a month feels like a waste. And then when you start to have multiple side projects, you might need multiple servers (or set up more complex things like port forwarding based on domain etc) So that's how it came about. But we are sure it's not sustainable entirely yet! We would just like to provide low cost and low hassle hosting. Let's see how it goes.
