Why not cloud? Especially at first stage it is so much easier to get started. Moreover, it's easier to experiment and develop software if you can replicate prod env for a few hours. Especially for product like yours, it's so much

Amount of electric car is irrelevant at this point. They market share is less than 0.1% in most areas, so systematic calculations of current state are not that useful. The current EV subsidies are mostly to recoup some initial R&D cost

I wonder if they add IOS at some point. Maybe it's the Amazon way of doing. Start with MVP and iterate.

Isn't it yet another case of AWS doing a cheap replacement of existing company: https://apigee.com I doen't have experience with their product, but on surface they look similar.

Cool UI, tried it on my recent flight, but for my case I could find better deal on Orbitz. Example: WAW -> SFO (July 18, Aug 2) IMO best: WAW -> AMS -> SFO (14h25m), SFO -> CDG -> WAW (14h5m) 1256$ Your flights are a bit chea

Alternative guide, use CloudFlare and hide origin address. Most of AWS advices (like autoscaling) will help only a bit, but can cost a lot (lots of ec2 machines serving bogus requests).

How about IDE that suggest you next line of code? Or next variable, or method to call? Add static analysis and it can actually be fairly useful. E.g. val name = object.[maybe you wwant to use getFirstName]?
