$29+/mo for something as trivial as web-configurable {git pull,hg update,svn checkout} && {rsync,git push,s3cmd sync}; {mailx,curl} pipeline that runs on external notification event or from crontab?
Never thought someone would sell this as a service.
- dsabanin 13y agoThen you probably shouldn't look at https://www.statuspage.io/pricing https://www.statuspage.io/pricing In reality, most of the things that are sold as services these days can be done from scratch by a guy who knows what he's doing. The question is whether you have better things to be working on instead.
- derefr 13y agoYou know, I wouldn't pay for $29/mo for one of these -- but it'd be pretty obvious to pay (some number larger than $29)/mo for a combination of these. I think it's just that I'd have to sign up and keep track of so many individual little services that bothers me. Whereas, if someone was selling a service that provided pre-scaled (so not Slashdottable) status pages, blogs, docs, wikis, CDNs, etc., and also maybe private git hosting and a CI server -- that'd basically be "you host the webapp, we do the rest", and I could imagine going for that. (Especially since the "you host the webapp" part is exactly where a PaaS slots in.)
