The People Success Resource kit is an open-sourced collection of templates, resources, and inspiration – everything you need to start cultivating a culture of care at your startup from day one.
Any live production app that was able to use this code base and build their own app finally? Wondering how easy it is for someone to take this production.
This is a new repo. Various users from early startups to large public companies have in-production apps built with HyperTrack. That said, users can use this open source app with their own live location platform and take it to production outside of HyperTrack.
Smartphone is where the work app sits. Making the app location aware serves a diff need than vehicle connected telematics. The worlds converge a bit but tandem is more the norm than replacement.
How does the cost of DynamoDB (and other components) compares to other options that you considered, especially at scale? Would economics works with the same architecture say at 100X scale?
Good question. At 100x, probably not. At 10x, yes would be better than managing services on our own. By that time, we would have a better prioritized list of which services to self-manage and which ones to leave to AWS. Are you specifically concerned about DynamoDB for some reason?
How easy or hard would it be to switch to self-managed components as you grow from 10X to 100X? Quite often, they end up becoming a tech debt that remains in the back burner. Just curious.
Ah yes. The engineer would tell you we can move when we want. The manager would tell you it is harder than it looks. Management would tell you it will never happen. :-)
See it as reducing startup risk and deferring the payment to when you become successful and have money/time to throw at problem. Though there are best practices to do it in a clean way so moving is easier.
I’d be curious why you think at 100x is where you would lose out on TCO with self managed. I feel like staff time commitment should only go up with larger fleets, you’d really start running into the pricing advantages on 0-rated network here etc.
I had to cut down the title because of 80 characters limit (tried using the full title but got an error), so chose this phrase from the headline. Sorry if it felt like a click-bait.
Also, the post is all about how China is eliminating posts by anonymous users on Internet. Not sure what you mean by "its not in the content"?
P.S. There are a few more example apps (that use HyperTrack) that we open-sourced. Do check https://github.com/hypertrack. Would love to get your thoughts.
At HyperTrack, we are building the location stack for the developers. What Stripe is for payments, or Twilio is for communication, HyperTrack is for location.
We love building simple solutions to complex problems. We love building beautiful visualizations for complex location data. We deal with location, maps, smartphone platforms, device sensors and pretty dashboards. We obsess about designing elegant and generic API abstractions that add value to our customer's software architecture. We release our SDKs in open source. We organize and participate in meet ups. We actively contribute our ideas and techniques through blogs, and engage with developer and product communities.
If you want to be one of us, please send your bio to knock.knock@hypertrack.com for one of the jobs on https://www.hypertrack.com/jobs.
We are always looking for great talent. If you have a strong pedigree, have over 5 years of relevant engineering experience and can contribute to the device (Android/iOS), server (API, devops), web (everything JS) or data, please send us a note even if the job is not listed.
