Pricing? Free during beta is nice, but if this is $99/month after, that will weed out weekend projects. Also, is it a per-app cost, per-user, per-company, or something else? Per-user weeds out free apps. I like the concept, but it doesn't make sense to use it without knowing what rough order of magnitude cost I'm looking at when it goes live.
- riprock 15y agoThis. There's always a backlash with unexpected post-beta price increases as well (see google app engine.) Be straight-up with the pricing and hold your words.
- angryasian 15y agoI don't see how anyone can even build on a proprietary platform without knowing the costs upfront. Google was different in that google allowed you to use existing frameworks such as spring and jpa, and if you encapsulated the code properly , migrating was easy.
- lacker 15y agoWe definitely don't want to weed out weekend projects or free apps. The goal is to have a pricing model similar to Heroku's, where you pay more than you would for a Linode box, but not a ridiculous amount more.
- stephth 15y agoDo you have an estimate for when you'll announce pricing?
- csmajorfive 15y agonot yet - but i assure you we'll do it asap!
- clark-kent 15y agoWhat database do you have running on the backend?
- lacker 15y agoWe're using MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis.
- rtrunck 15y agoI completely agree. I've got a linode instance and use it for server side stuff, but I hate doing server side stuff. This seems awesome, but I'm going to hold off until I know I can afford it.
