We used to use Skobbler, which was great until they basically stopped working and went silent. For the past 18 months, we've used Thunderforest (it's an OpenStreetMap PaaS) and they're great. Solid uptime, good maps and…
Corrected ;)
Title is clickbait and inaccurate - they raised €550k at 100,000 users. So they bootstrapped until 100k users (still a great achievement), but hardly to 4mil users as the title would suggest.
Yeah aware of ElephantSQL but the concern is lack of SLA and lack of big company backing. If you guys disappear, what happens to my databases since they run on your subscription, not mine. Hence why having an IBM backed…
+1, except would awesome to see this on Microsoft Azure. The current SQL database as a service offering on Azure is expensive with mediocre performance. A highly available Postgres as a Service offering backed by a big…
Seconded - there are some interesting/challenging social dilemmas ahead for the 1st world in particular.

The key paragraph from the post RE:Mono is: "we’ll make .NET Core great for Windows, Linux and Mac OSX. This also enables the Mono community to innovate on top of the leaner .NET Core stack as well as taking it to…
I for one am extremely excited about having MS supported ASP.Net on Linux. Mono is a great community effort, but the server side has always lagged Windows pretty heavily. Having the same level of API and implementation…
For .NET / SQL Server people, check out GuidCombs if you want better Primary Key performance. These are a great way of making GUIDs sequential for database use, giving indexing performance close to ints on SQL Server. I…
You should definitely also check out ServiceStack. Dapper-like ORM, amazing web service capabilities and awesome serializers all in one place. Supports everything too (Mono, Xamarin etc).
