hey thanks for your comment. you could consider using morph to test the integration between hubot and other services?

thank you! The whole point of the article was to offer a mashup of easy to follow steps to achieve replication over azure availability sets. I'm glad that you find it useful.

true, that's why we went for a master-master setup with the db.

that's why we try to use the Azure IaaS and avoid microsoft specific technologies. In any case as we grow we'll have to also move to other enviroments because of the nature of our product so we need to be flexible on that. But I t

I agree with that, although I believe that it heavily depends on where on your product roadmap you are. For early stage MVPs where you care for quick validation, I believe that in-house hosting is not a very good option, maybe a PaaS enviro

That's not our cost, the 200k pounds are the cost pling mentioned for their case, 200k and MVP are indeed contradictory terms. We are actually participating on bizpark so we have some credits to use on the platform for free. Of course

pling, any chance to post/share how you are using the azure platform and what makes the migration hard? that would be really useful.

if you are in the situation to need dedicaded VMs for MariaDB then you should probably go for SQL Azure. Here this is not the case, the requirements for the DB are minimal and we already have 2 VMs running for the availability set. As I sai

pling sure, but if you avoid using azure specific technologies it's quite easy to move somewhere else.

I'd say that the main downside is the time/effort to setup and maintain, especially as you scale up. At the end you should always judge based on your app and its requirements.

this is strange, we'll have a look at it although you should not have any problems accessing it from anywhere. Thanks for letting us know though.

what we do is to offer a configurable proxy for APIs where someone can configure various aspects of them, e.g. transform and filter request & response bodies, headers etc, simplify and accelerate the work a developer has to do in order
