FlightControl looks interesting too. Interesting pricing model - to directly & explicitly charge a markup on the underlying managed infrastructure.
There's some obvious risk in your business model but I'm 100% rooting for you.
- flybayer 4y agoThank you! It's still early for Flightcontrol and we have so much to improve. But we already have a non-trivial amount of production customers (including some very high traffic sites) and solid monthly growth. We're planning to switch pricing to tiers. Psychologically 30% sounds like a lot, although the end price is quite low. For example we have a site with close to 10 million requests per month with heavy server compute. Their cost is about AWS $300/mo and Flightcontrol $90/month.
- swyx 4y agocan you elaborate on the obvious risk?
- dfee 4y agoIt’s commoditized and a race to the bottom and a rounding error for AWS spend to wipeout everyone in the space and it might be a good business, it’s getting harder to differentiate, and …? Not that it’s going to happen. But there’s a plethora of obvious risks. BTW - to the author of FC, this is not directed against you. I hope you do well. And I’m really excited for the revised vision - I actually joined the Discord today.
