This is very cool. I'm excited to use this in my next project. I like the zero setup, no fuss, secure by default features. I guess 4 more questions: 1) Does "Dynamic Realtime Scaling" mean you spin up more clusters and do loa

Really cool website! I'm confused though exactly what is going on. Is this kind of like Heroku? What are the pros and cons of this service? For context, I'm currently running a production node/express/mongo service on Di

Actually they are a special type of Monad which is a functional programming concept (see Haskell).

I lump them since they are the traditional "dynamic scripting" languages popular in backend development. But I agree the strong/weak designations are actually not so neatly segmented.

It definitely started off for only iOS & Mac. But I believe the larger aim is to have it be general purpose. For example they have binaries for Ubuntu Linux (this will likely encourage server side development).

Yeah something like a kiosk. I want to be able to process card swipes instead of making users enter their card number (as in the Ecommerce api). The additional benefit is that you get charged the 2.75% card present fee instead of the 2.9%

Unfortunately that kicks the user out of your app and into Square's temporarily. And according to the TOS, the customer needs to be supervised by a merchant employee during the transaction. Ideally you would be able to handle the custo

Does anyone know if you can now connect to the Square payments processing hardware through the API? I would like to process in person payments through Square but keep the user experience in my application.

Yeah the Online Store that comes with their POS is free and pretty great - I know a lot of small merchants using it and they love it. Looks like this goes one step further and allows you to build a web store without using their hardware POS

I'm currently running a Node.js/Express.js/MongoDB service with a Bootstrap/jQuery frontend and iOS + Android clients. My payments mix also tends to be high volume and low margin. I have been extremely satisfied with Str

The articles are usually written after the events have played out, so the authors have the benefit of hindsight. Marissa on the other hand had to make tough decisions in the moment.

Would you agree though that Yahoo has not kept up with users moving their attention to smartphones, and there will be a corresponding loss in users and profit in the long run? If so, I believe Mayer was trying to correct this through her ef

The Parse infrastructure itself was written in Ruby then in Go. But the customer facing CloudCode feature was in a Node.js environment. Thus it makes sense that Parse Server which needs to run this cloud code would be in Node.
