True, Azure did have a major outage in November 2014, significantly more than the other popular providers: http://www.networkworld.com/article/2866950/cloud-computing/... That's can't be the only re

This is huge for Microsoft, because this is how Azure is finally starting to get accepted by the startup/VC community. They never had difficulty selling Azure to the enterprise, but for startups - AWS had always been the default choic

You are right - the big outage happened in November. Feels like yesterday (it was a stressful day for me). AWS outages have been more limited in scope/geo, still took some sophisticated users of AWS offline (Netflix, Instagram come t

You should give them another try. Azure has become much more stable. There was a major global outage a month or so ago, but then again that's something that had happened with other cloud providers. Overall, I find them easier to use

As a (smaller) CDN, we routinely solve these sorts of problems. Never occurred to be to blog about it in such manner. But then again, we suck at PR.

Would love to see this in action. However, when I opened the app on my iPad in Safari, I couldn't scroll down as instructed, and then the app crashed the browser after a few seconds. Is this a known issue?

Replicants are like any other machine. They're either a benefit or a hazard. If they're a benefit, it's not my problem.

The best part about it was predicting demand for something that hasn't plateaued in Australia yet, based on other, established, markets. This is essentially how Rocket VC etc make their money.

That's because those companies are doing it wrong. They view social as yet another mass marketing channel, one where you spam, convert, etc, and the use the same Google Analytics/Google Ads type of approach to CPM and 'conve

They have a separate startup section now, but even that's getting repetitive.

I remember doing a very basic analysis (via Google search) of TC headlines back in 2012, but I was curious about their preference for funded companies vs bootstrapped, in terms of coverage. Predictably, they were mostly covering funding ro

To answer your question: some parts of our SaaS (e.g. data gathering/processing) are on both AWS and Azure, but the customer-facing portal web app is 100% on Azure (in two regions North East and North Central), so we couldn't just

I suspect a human config error. I don't see how else multiple services, in multiple regions, can all be affected at once. Looking forward to the post mortem.

I feel your pain. My startup was featured on TechNet today, I was quoted saying how great Azure worked for us so far... lots of folks were checking us out, and then Azure went down hard, taking our production systems with them. Talk about

I feel like an idiot. MS featured my Azure startup today, quoting me about overall stability etc (which has been the case for us, until today). They then proceeded to go down, taking all our production systems with them. (yes we do have A

Is this the thread where everyone is sharing how much they are paying? All of my companies are bootstrapped (and bandwidth is the largest expense item), so some of the rates quoted got me excited. It sounds like there are a lot of knowledge
