Hi Slava, thanks for that. I'm really excited about rethink and am really looking forward to using it in a serious project.

What has to happen before rethink is production ready? I have to build an analytics db for commercial launch in February, it'll be a single machine cluster for the first few months. Would rethink be a risky choice?

PyCharm really irks me when it gives a warning when I declare an empty dictionary using a literal {} rather than the dict() global function. It does the same thing with [] and list(). I'd rather just use what feels right at the time thanks,

Yes, but they've been saying 'soon' for most of this year. I've asked them directly and they have absolutely no idea when they will launch

Definitely great to have this as another local option. Our preferred onshore hosting provider in recent times has been OrionVM. They are awesome in terms of customer service and raw IO performance, but they don't seem to want to augment the

Yeah that's better, but the animation is still pretty harsh on my browser (chrome / OSX) .. would benefit from a bit of jQuery easing.

Totally. Entrepreneurship isn't fair, and there's never enough time. But if it genuinely has hit the fan, and you're honest, then people will usually cut you a break. EDIT: A day is kind of arbitrary anyway. If you get an outstanding applic

Most countries that require a passport for entry also require one for exit. Otherwise there would be no control to stop people from fleeing the law.

Nice. I think your homepage could do with a screenshot, or a video or something. I get into the demo but it's not obvious how this relates to mobile, specifically. Also, am not sure about your pricing ... $50 / month feels like a lot for 10

I think in Django's case, it's not so much "this is insecure", but more that runserver is simple/stupid and hasn't been built or tested for serving multiple concurrent users. Nor should it be. There are plenty of WSGI capable web servers th
