Ask HN: Is your developer product competing with FAANG and MS?

2 points by BigNick 5y ago ↗ HN

Hi all,

I'm researching on products (software) for developers that are competing with Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google and Microsoft. Here are 2 examples:

1. vue.js vs Angular (by Google) vs reactjs (by Facebook)

2. DigitalOcean vs AWS (by Amazon) vs GCP (by Google) vs Azure (by Microsoft)

If you're working on products for developers that are competing with offerings from any of these companies, please kindly reply below.

Thank you.

(Definition of products for developers: anything that the developers use for software development, deployment, maintenance and more)

Find a segment of the market that the bigger players aren't focused on and over optimize for those customers.
