So, what have I learnt after building @desanahq for 2 years? Start simple, start small. Kubernetes is not necessary. Microservices are not necessary. gRPC is not necessary. Self-hosted CI is not necessary. Self-hosted databases are not necessary. The requirement to scale does not occur overnight. These things can wait.

According to my commit log, it's been almost exactly 2 years since I started building @desanahq as we know it today. This is how it went down. A thread 👇

#startup #developers #nodejs #javascript #ios #android #nativeapps #kubernetes @desanaHQ When we (@michaelcobyburn and @SteveInJeans) started, I was keen to build something which would "scale". I thought "if this does well, it's going to have to cope with the demand". We had no money and we all worked full time doing other things.
