So... Notion?

Luckily we had followers in different zones by chance. Still scary though. What are the best solutions for replicating Heroku in different clouds?

If by "replicating" you mean replicating the experience, then you're looking for Dokku

Easy setup + MIT license and you get the same git push deploys, Heroku-compatible buildpacks or bring your own Dockerfile.

I would recommend running it on probably on Linode / DigitalOcean / Vultr.

Dokku is great for a single host. If you have a more complicated setup you can go a long way with post-receive hooks, although it won't be as magical without buildpacks.

Fly.io comes close. You have docker based builds on the cloud with native multi region support. Postgres is in beta right now.

They also have built-in Heroku migration: https://fly.io/docs/app-guides/speed-up-a-heroku-app/

DigitalOcean's App platform things plays nicely with Heroku buildpacks from what I've seen

Have a really bold mission and focus on autonomy and culture.

Senior developers can work anywhere they want. Don’t make the job description about what they will do, but about the impact that will have.

We are hiring Staff and Sr. Engineers at ClearAngel and it’s easier because our mission is so clear and empowering: build the YC 99% of online founders.

The work we are doing will have ripple effects through the economy and through the lives of hundreds of founders.

I spend 90% of the interview talking about that and asking them about what they want.

Then I spend 10 mins on: oh yeah, we use Rails and Python, monolith moving to micro services etc.

Focus on the mission and the culture you will be bringing them into.

Oh and pay them top of market salary and give them meaningful options.

I don't care about the impact I will have, but I do care about what I will be doing day to day and who I will work with, and most of all, I care about being paid really well. Not because of greed but because tech metros are extremely expensive places to live, and because I want a return on my investment of years of studying, learning and sacrificing a lot of my spare time, which is something people in other professions rarely have to do.

Just shared with my parents and amending my will.

We are currently finding Canada, US, UK, AU with more countries coming soon. Good call out, will add to the FAQ.

That's the idea. We think that we can really tip the balance for early stage founders. Everyone has a different mountain to climb, we have seen thousands of mountains, and tens of thousands of paths up the different 1000s mountains. We give you a map, and a GPS.

We are planning on having a path for pre-revenue by summer, so definitely get on the waitlist. We process the waitlist on a first come, first serve basis. If we think we can help you, we will make you an offer, and give you access to our data-driven next actions / OKRs.

Thanks! We are trying our best to make it transparent and obvious
