Have a look at https://quaderno.io/ for handling the EU VAT stuff. I actually don't use it, but I remember that they provided a checkout experience similar to Stripe.

Support SLA is pretty common in enterprise, but what do you mean with "new features"? Did you put SLA also on features development?

I've come to believe that some Google interfaces (eg. AdWords, Webmaster Tools) suck because then you need one of their certified partners to set things up. By no means they are meant to be used by normal people. Also, data provided by

I'll admit that "the whole web" was an exaggeration, but I'm trying to make a point. Nearly every website that I browse is sustained by ads. Yeah, the adv industry is a nasty one, but still this movement is not providing

I don't get it. A big part of the web is paid by ads. Lots of websites rely on (non-invasive) ads to sustain themselves and provide content to anyone for free. It's safe to say that the whole web sustains on ads (think about googl

I've never used them for large volume actually. Are you using them via SMTP or API? I'm asking because I've never seen a single API call fail with them, but maybe it's about the volume like you said. For large volume sen

Everybody talk about Mailgun, but there are other valuable alternatives: Sendgrid, AWS SES, Postmark. At Redokun we use Postmark. It proved to have a good deliverability and the UI is very good.

I read this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18465875-countdown-to-ze... but haven't watched anything related to Stuxnet. Do you have any specific talks to recommend?

Could you elaborate on Logstash? I was considering it just a few weeks ago for a project

by agopaul 11y ago
If I were you, I would put a little emphasis on the security of your service. Logs can definitely contain sensitive data and companies rely on you to store that data in a "proper" way. At least, as a possible customer, that is one

Well, yes people have been doing similar stuff with IRC bots. But you would miss the possibility to show widgets inside the chat client (eg. map, calendar, etc)

Yeah but the team was in charge of consumer solutions (Workstation and Fusion), not datacenter solutions (vSphere, etc)

by agopaul 11y ago
Can't stress enough point #1. I've seen a HUGE performance difference between VB and Fusion with actual web-development workload. Enough to justify moving from a free solution to a paid one. Plus you get other nice features, eg.

I think he was referring to global variables inside the 3rd party libraries rather than their codebase. If a library is not thread-safe they cannot use it.

Makes sense, but what if you want to sell to both SMB and enterprise customers?

by agopaul 11y ago
The article seems a bit simplistic in the way it draws conclusions. Still I wonder why so many companies picked the most counterintuitive solution. Edit: I've come to believe that enterprise customers are likely to have different, more

I'm curious to hear from a SaaS which moved from a public to a non-public pricing (or vice-versa). Why did you do it? Did it work better?

As an MBP trackpad user, I can't think of a more annoying web trend. To the point that I'm thinking of finding a way to disable this kind of behaviour and make a Chrome extension to block this thing everywhere.

Also, the problem of unmaintained paid apps should be addressed. Yes, you can rate 1 star the app, but wouldn't be better to quickly file a 'not working' ticket, and let an Apple employee check the app? I mean, Apple is getti

We use either Postbox, Thunderbird or Apple Mail and all of them should work with Gmail like every most common mail client. So the point about IMAP doesn't have a practical impact for us. Am I missing something? Good to know about thei

How does it compare to, say, Gmail enterprise? Well, apart from the whole Google Apps. I'm curious because we'll have to migrate to a better email provider in a month or two, and Gmail enterprise seemed to be the best fit for us (

I agree with you. We actually are quite proactive and usually if there is an application error/exception, we get notified via email by the application itself and immediately write to the customer that we know about the problem and we&#

These are good points, but for point 3, I chose a hybrid solution. Reply quickly that your team is looking into the issue/ticket and reply later with the real answer. From personal experience with other's support systems, sending
