This certainly wins on convenience and accessibility for non-developers. I was working on a similar concept, but it still required some dev skills (use curl or github actions) - https://www.gostaticapp.com/

Hey, I've been tinkering with this concept recently, it's not quite ready for beta testing, but I'd be happy to take feedback on what I've got so far: http://croncloud.io/

It's also important to note that these new rules cover the sale of digital goods to CONSUMERS only, if you are (for example) a registered business in the UK and selling to a registered business in Germany, German VAT is not applied, an

Perhaps consider an enterprise agreement with AWS? We've saved $large without needing to switch providers just by committing to a minimum monthly volume of data transfer. Worth seeing the numbers before you invest in dev & operatio

On that point (needing a sys admin for say 10 hours a week), where should a currently devs only team be looking? Remote freelancer? Dev with ops / sys admin experience?

Xeround looks really interesting ( http://xeround.com/ ). Seems to do everything in RAM and takes care of any replication / backup & scailing for you. Looks like it would get expensive with large amounts of data though... anyone using

Great idea and implementation. I've just coded up a custom "gadget" for our internal admin panel. No more copying & pasting the email address on the ticket into our internal system.

Looks fantastic! I just wish you guys had launched 12 months ago; we've had a pretty tough time integrating with another partner due to their limited API. What is the timetable for international role out?

We've recently launched an Direct Debit facility and faced these exact problems. Luckily our DD provider works with some huge companies and so is already insured against any "indemnity claims". This insurance is reflected in our transaction

Suboptimal from what perspective? Server processing time & data transfer - maybe, user experience - not necessarily. Ajax calls aren't by more optimal by definition, it depends on the context. Agree that worse UX will frustrate users ma

The "industry standard" will vary vastly with the vertical you operate in (sports, technology, barbie dolls) and quality of your site and audience

Good point, I think there is a balance though.... For example, on a site with only one advert per page, I don't think there is any harm in having a new page load rather than an ajax call (which arguably would be the better "user experience"

This looks brilliant, you just need to nail your pricing structure.. perhaps consider per test or limit the number of tests and variations? Either way, congratulations, some serious skills on show form your engineer(s)!
