Exceptional to join the Rackspace Family
- wheaties 14y agoIt was only a matter of time before you guys were acquired. Truly love Redis to Go.
- robotmay 14y agoI'm assuming Redis to Go is currently hosted on EC2; will that be relocated to the Rackspace Cloud? If so will that affect latency for users on Heroku, for example?
- KenCochrane 14y agoThis blog post [1] says: "... We’ll continue to support our customers in AWS until we’ve solutions that offer faster reliable Redis without the zone latency." [1] http://blog.togo.io/ http://blog.togo.io/
- justinmares 14y agoHey, one of the RedisToGo guys here. Before any production hosting we will do plenty of benchmarking between redis servers on Rackspace and Heroku applications. If you have specific questions, email ben@redistogo.com. Thanks for being a customer!
- bretpiatt 14y agoRacker here from the team that worked on this. We are going to continue running Redis To Go for AWS customers and we understand how important low latency is to Redis users. The same goes for ObjectRocket (the MongoDB service we acquired last month) on availability to US-East and US-West on AWS.
- destraynor 14y agoCongrats to the whole team! Great guys.
- r1g2b3 14y ago:-)
- erik757 14y agoCongrats, very exciting!
- benofsky 14y agoCongrats guys!
- antirez 14y agoCongrats! Happy to see this happening.
- gbog 14y agoCongrats. A nitpick: "Exceptional could not be more excited to announce that we are joining Rackspace!" seem weird to me. Maybe add "We, at" in front of the sentence? Exceptional is a legal entity, and can hardly be excited, I guess.
- blahpro 14y agoNitpick++: Exceptional Cloud Services, Inc. is the legal entity. I’d say that "Exceptional" is a reasonable way to refer to the team.
- gamedna 14y agoThis is great news! Congrats!
- purephase 14y agoCongrats! Minor nitpick (to all copywriters out there), when writing acquisition blog posts that will likely make their way on to HN, put a little snippet of who/what you are at the top of your post.
- foobar2k 14y agoCongrats to the Exceptional team! For anyone looking to switch from Airbrake/Exceptional to a more modern/reliable error tracking product, check out our product Bugsnag (https://bugsnag.com https://bugsnag.com).
- brianr 14y agoCongrats to the team at Exceptional! If any Airbrake/Exceptional users are looking for an alternative, check out Rollbar (https://rollbar.com https://rollbar.com). Here's a write-up we did on how we're different from Airbrake: https://rollbar.com/vs/airbrake/ https://rollbar.com/vs/airbrake/
- wbond 14y agoWe've been using Rollbar for a number of apps over the past few months and have really been liking how it fit into our infrastructure. Brian has been great about responding to bugs and suggestions. Keep up the great work!
- TkTech 14y agoDon't forget about about Sentry (https://getsentry.com/welcome/ https://getsentry.com/welcome/) which is also open source (https://github.com/getsentry/sentry https://github.com/getsentry/sentry) and can be self hosted. I've only used it with Python, but it has so far been infinitely better than the alternatives I've tried (probably because it's written in python). Integration with Flask is a 3-minute affair.
- ferrantim 14y agoWelcome to the family!
