And I once ran a python script on my local computer and had no scaling issues. I dont know what all these people are talking about nginx, load-blanancers, blah! heck, I just used python -m simpleserver and Viola! it worked! See -- everyone can run a global business right from their macbook with 0 FTEs! I did it! (Please dont mind I picked the easiest script and conveniently based my business in places where Stripe works!)
- mattmanser 6y agoSo, people who ARE doing it are replying on this thread. People who don't need 15 FTEs, or even one FTE to take pretty large volumes of payments from many countries in the world. Another reply is talking about $40 million turnover without a FTE. The latest revenue figures I can find for meetup is $15 million. So it begs the question, are you the incompetent and inexperienced one for needing to overengineer, or are we, for doing it cheaply?
- hey_ya_23 6y agoIts really not about scale. I can process 1 or 1million JSON messages with the same effort. Now also support 25 other message formats? Doesnt scale the same way. I can support a trillion of US/Canadian/European transactions with mostly the same effort.
