We migrated from a self-hosted irc server to Grove and couldn't be happier. The archive and search are a godsend when you can't be bothered to set up loggers and such yourself. Whenever we're troubleshooting server issues, all the context is already there in the web client for other devs to hop right in and catch up. We post to the API from our fab deploy scripts, and when someone's feeling motivated, we'll be setting up Hubot, as outlined on their blog. https://grove.io/blog/hubot-grove https://grove.io/blog/hubot-grove
EDIT: I should also give mention to the great transparency from the team. Leah emailed me in response to feedback/issues multiple times, and they definitely keep up with Twitter chatter.
- akent 15y agoSurprising - given you already had a self-hosted IRC server, switching to Grove seems like an expensive option for more or less just the addition of logging features?
- jwpeddle 15y agoThe cost is a non-issue for even the few benefits (and the removal of all responsibility). Also relevant: we have non irc-savvy devs, so Grove helps with getting them involved too. It's difficult to explain why IRC is so great to anyone that doesn't use it- whereas sending an invite and having them in the channel right away is dead simple.
