Still your AWS, but 97% easier
Stacktape is a PaaS 2.0 that deploys to your own AWS account From scratch to production-grade AWS infra in a day. No DevOps knowledge required Up to 8x more expensive. Surprise bills are very common. Egress bills get horrible at scale. Advanced features, such as private networking, are available only on expensive tiers. You're always 1 unsupported use-case away from having to migrate your infrastructure to AWS anyway. You spend 100s or 1000s of hours configuring IaC, deployment scripts and CI/CD pipelines. Developer productivity suffers as they can't make changes by themselves. Maintaining, fixing and upgrading your custom setup is a full time job. And you might not get it right.…from stacktape.com

Stacktape – Full power of AWS with Heroku-like experience2022 · stacktape.com · ▲115Hello, Stacktape CEO here.

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
