Whoever "cloudscale" is, I'm sure it's a big deal to get on the front page of HN and having a competitor sneak in their promo codes in the comment thread to snipe potential customers probably puts a damper on things.
Classy.
- mike_hearn 12y agoWhatever the ethics of it, actually I am currently looking for a Swiss based hosting provider that looks a lot like cloudscale/exoscale. However Cloudscale is just "coming soon" and Exoscale isn't, so knowing about it was rather useful. Actually I had no idea that you could get advanced app hosting platforms like this that were regional. I thought Heroku was it. Exoscale would get more money from me if they had hosted postgres as well as mysql though.
- pyritschard 12y agohi mike, we actually do have mysql available and PG is on the roadmap. https://www.exoscale.ch/add-on/mysql/ https://www.exoscale.ch/add-on/mysql/
