All that is fine, but why would anyone in their sane mind have 5 freaking children? Why are Americans obsessed with having such big families? Do you keep spare kids for ghosts to haunt? (like they show in all horror movies)
In India, we call decision of having more than 2 kids insane & cost even though raising a child in India is much lesser.
If you have two full time working parents then two kids is already a lot. Especially if you have your first kid in your thirties.
If you have two parents working part time, maybe in jobs with flexible hours, and grandparents who can help out, and day care / schooling is affordable in your area, and you start having kids in your twenties, then having more kids can work.
We are launching a platform to create ephemeral environments with ease.
We want to enable developers to create the turnkey environments so that they can preview every PR before merging it.
With automations like
1. Auto-deployment on every commit
2. New environment for every PR on a branch
3. Termination of inactive environments
we provide a unique ability to test PRs among peers, potential customers & users without shooting up your cloud costs.
We have web platform and IDE plugin and a CLI to easily fit into your development workflow.
I think there is a bit of an issue with language and marketing. You're not leading with your strengths, or why people would use your product, you're leading with fluff that blurs the understanding of what you do.
Even your HN post title suffers from the same issue.
I'm getting lost in your language of "ephemeral environments". I get what you mean, but it doesn't suggest what you would do with it until you describe it further.
Yes, they are ephemeral, but that isn't the benefit. "Show HN: Run every PR in it's own environment"
Also, EaaS (ease) has a nice ring to it, I feel like "environments as a service" could also have so many applications, that I wouldn't lead with it.
Could you imagine Stripe describing themselves as "Software as a service. A platform for 3rd party digital purchases". That's kinda what it does, but doesn't really give anybody something to tie it to.
"Modern development platform for fast-moving teams" - but that isn't the problem you solve. I'm part of a fast-moving team, we have a development environment, so what are you offering...
Perhaps there are things that I'm missing. I've never worked in such a large organization where we have independent dev-ops. But is this the pain point?
We have experienced the small bit of pain when reviewing a PR, and you have to stash your current work, open the branch, run the services, etc etc, but it has never been a big enough problem for us.
Perhaps in larger orgs, I don't know. But generally, you may be on to something, but please try to be clearer with what that something is.
I like https://www.appsmith.com/ which provides front end as a service for publishing internal tools.
The good thing about appsmith is it comes with self-hosted version. For data-conscious companies, it's the perfect solution.
Developers can collaboratively build internal tools and publish them.
The vast library of UI components on appsmith gives you enough flexibility to build the apps the way you want them with simple drag and drops.
You can build your internal apps by connecting APIs as well as databases. I personally like the API support as it gives me control over input validations and flexibility to add business logic as well.

What am I missing? It's a big cultural shock.
