There's a good reason for that: when AWS has problems, we are under very heavy load because many of our customers are on AWS. The last thing we want to do at that point is an emergency flip to a secondary provider.

We (PagerDuty) were down for a bit. We will move off of AWS asap once the dust settles.

The poster is assuming that once a YC startup is funded with a convertible note with no cap and no discount, that all other notes in the round will be at similar terms (and thus small angels won't be able to afford to participate in the dea

It's not clear from the promo description, but it's actually the Small plan that's included in the PagerDuty deal ($24/month). EDIT: The description was updated, it's clear now. :)

We have a simple integration API and we can also integrate with any system that can send email. Regarding the integration, just shoot us an email: support@pagerduty.com.

Thanks for the feedback! Very good point, we should allow you to send multiple replies per SMS alert to ack and then resolve (currently, there's a limit of one reply per alert). We'll look at fixing this soon.

Or just because MySQL is really to get started with when using Rails and other frameworks, and that when you're starting a business, you think "if I actually ever run into MySQL scaling issues, that's a good problem to have".

I agree. That's why we don't do uptime monitoring, or any kind of monitoring really. PagerDuty is an alerting system which plugs into any monitoring system (Pingdom, Nagios, Cloudkick, etc) and alerts your team via phone, SMS and email when

I'd love to hear what some of you think about SLAs. Is it worth implementing one?

We've taken steps to minimize outages as much as possible. The system is distributed across 3 data centers, with fast automatic rollover in case of a data center outage. We've architected the system to ensure we never drop alerts. PagerDuty

The main reason we haven't offered a perpetually free account is because we're a bit different than other SaaS companies: hosting isn't our only cost, we also have to pay for each phone and SMS alert we send. The other reason is that we see

It's good for the company, that makes sense. What I don't get is, if you pay yourself $100K, aren't you personally taxed on your 100K income? Or, will you claim you only had a 100K - 80K = 20K income on your personal taxes? I would think th

I found it a little confusing at first (couldn't figure out what it does at first glance), but once I searched for an app and added it, I got the idea right away. One gripe: lots of webapps, such as the 37signals suite of apps, or the app o

When Gmail first came out, Hotmail had a piddly inbox size limit of 4MB. I remember having to clean out email quite frequently. So, for me, Gmail was more than 10x better, just because of the 1GB size limit.
