I’m working on Nimbus Web Services[0], a managed service provider (think redis, object storage, etc) for Hetzner and later OVH and LeaseWeb.
I’ve been chipping away at it for quite a while, but I’m finally in the position of standing up the production coasters and letting people on.
The last 10% seems to always take 90% of the time!

- diceduckmonk 4y agoHow do you differ from extending BIG3 cloud providers ?
- hardwaresofton 4y agoWell I provide services primarily to a space they’re not in at all. The cloud providers I target are more seen as “infrastructure providers“ and dont have managed services of their own (except OVH). Offering services on the big 3 providers is something I’ve thought about but is a ways down the road for me. If you are referencing how the services differ I suspect mine will be worse in every way other than complexity, the big 3 cloud providers have a lot of engineering prowess to throw at any given problem —- Nimbus is more aimed at doing a better job than you could have done in less time (as a IaaS user who has to set up all their own infrastructure), and providing support. It turns out there are a LOT of open source projects that are extremely good/stable, and mostly work once you set them up properly/ensure they can’t fail catastrophically. Nimbus does the work your sysadmin would do, then makes it available to you.
