For those who want to know the tech stack.
We are running on heroku(the european datacenter)[1] and amazon S3, we use RoR with some pretty nice gems(active admin, devise, ...) and Jquery for the JS.
For metric we use Mixpanel and Google Analytics. For our emails we use Amazon and Mailjet.
The are on the european DC because of the Safe Harbor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Safe_Harbor_Privacy_Principles http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Safe_Harbor_Priva...
- Pyramids 13y agoWhat kind of resources are you using currently on Heroku? Is infrastructure a noteworthy portion of your spending? (10-20%+?) Either way, cool concept, I'd definitely consider using it.
- negrit 13y agoAddons: Heroku Postgres, Memcachier, New Relic, SSL Endpoint. 1 worker, a few dynos. We don't spend a lot in infrastructure. Thanks and let me know if you use it ! My twitter handle and my email are in my HN profile.
- jcase 13y agoWhen the EU region was announced[1] last month they weren't Safe Harbor compliant (yet). Has that changed? [1] https://blog.heroku.com/archives/2013/4/24/europe-region https://blog.heroku.com/archives/2013/4/24/europe-region (near the bottom).
- negrit 13y agoYou're right, I did a bit of a mic mac there. They are still not compliant with Safe Harbor in the US. Anyway since our company is located in France, the french privacy law allow us to use a hosting located in EU (instead of a US SafeHarbor one). Heroku did the EU launch just for this.
- jcase 13y agoInteresting, thanks!
