Great idea - a matter of execution wizardy to seize the huge opportunity.
A couple of questions - mostly about performance. While heroku offers fantastic start for early and small size startups, one of the issues off late are it's performance issues when you reach certain growth stage. I realize that you are not working directly off AWS instances but using docker. How are heroku dynos different from aptible containers?
- fancyremarker 12y agoGood question! Aptible's Docker containers are fundamentally similar to Heroku's dynos in terms of the Linux kernel features on which both are built. Most of the performance advantage comes from 2 facts: 1. An Aptible production customer shares NO resources with other customers, from the load balancing layer down to the app container layer. So, performance is never going to be degraded as a result of resource contention from other customers. 2. Container CPU and RAM constraints are flexible on Aptible. While we set defaults for both of these container constraints, we can adjust them for specific customer applications that may be more CPU- or RAM-intensive.
- sandGorgon 12y agoIs Docker fundamentally allowed for Hipaa compliance ? Note that I don't particularly know the implications of my statement, but a friend once told me that Amazon had to go through a lot of auditing to get certified as PCI compliant (obviously from an infrastructure, and not application standpoint)
