They just raised more funding in a Series D[1]. CircleCI isn't the only player in the space and GitHub entering the playing field doesn't change that either. There's enough space for a few competitors and having competition w

My current company doesn't do this but I'm curious how it is supposed to help with incident response and analysis. Are you talking about server traffic or employee laptop's traffic?

While there's nothing stopping you from doing so I would be wary about it. Even though the service will be internal you might still need to use third-party software/tools in the future that will be incompatible because of this. Fo

My guess is that it's because not everything was down so it wasn't a total outage. From the post mortem: > Stripe splits data by kind into different database clusters and by quantity into different shards. So in theory any requ

It would be great if Stripe would offer an RSS feed for status updates in addition to twitter posts. A lot of other services have one and it's very convenient to subscribe to in Slack for updates. At my current company, for example, we
