fmotlik··on An Insider's Look Into Incident Management
Interviewee here (Flo), happy to answer any questions that might be coming up as well as a follow up. You can always send me an email to flo@codeship.com or answer here, would be great to get the thoughts of the community on these topics
fmotlik··on Which ci system to choose? circleci/Codeship/TravisCi/Jenkins?
Hi, Co-founder and CTO from Codeship here.

happy to help you out with getting started. Currently we don't support OSX as base build system, but would be interesting to see if its necessary for you or if our Linux machines work as well (sounds like they should if you deploy to EC2). You can send me an email to flo@codeship.com if you have any questions

fmotlik··on Continuous Integration in the Cloud: Comparing Travis, Circle and Codeship
Hi, Flo, Co-founder of Codeship here, let me know if any questions come up. Great and fair comparison of the three services, thanks Alex.

Regarding Codeship in the Blog:

* We do support open source repositories for free. There is no limits on how many open source builds you can run

* We have a strong UI to set up deployment to various providers and build complex deployment pipelines (didn't dive into that in the blog). The setup/test command ui is kept very simple deliberately as it's easy yet powerful through the web ui.

* Currently we don't support encrypted values, but that's a very important feature for us we want to get in soon

And we just launched a new Build details view yesterday which is much nicer than the old one. Currently talking to Alex to help him bring this into the Blogpost. There's also tons of new stuff coming up for us soon.

fmotlik··on Rackspace DNS DDOS
Would also be possible to use the dns_deploy tool one of my team mates wrote (https://github.com/codeship/dns_deploy/commits/master) or by extending Terraform (https://terraform.io/docs/providers/dnsimple/index.html)
fmotlik··on Ask HN: How to get recruited at a US based startup?
How about taking the offer at one of the startups that potentially expand to the US in the future. Then you could go with that team to the US
fmotlik··on Startup Black Friday
A Great "Which services should I look into when starting to build my product" list. Love product hunt for many reasons, but it's so easy with the lists to just go in and select what the community thinks are the best.
fmotlik··on AWS CodeDeploy
A bit: http://blog.codeship.com/lxc-memory-limit/

We use librato for monitoring our build server infrastructure and mostly only look at max/min values for metrics that could mean trouble. Generally we're able to separate data of different instances by their instance id so we could look into them individually.

We use NewRelic for our Rails application on Heroku and pump Heroku data into Librato as well (we love data and metrics)

And of course you can always send me an email to flo@codeship.com with questions.

fmotlik··on AWS CodeDeploy
I've been working on the CodeDeploy Integration here at Codeship and have been working with the service for a bit (as a preface on my thoughts)

While Immutable Infrastructure is also in our opinion (and I've written about this extensively) the way to go in the future updating systems in place is still the primary way to deploy systems and will be for a while. By providing a centralized systems to upload new released and manage the deployment (how many instances get the new deployment in which timeframe) you can take away some of the security problems of opening up ports for access and potential deployment errors where the SSH connection dies.

Especially when deploying into a large infrastructure connecting into each instance for update becomes painful. That's where an agent based services like CodeDeploy is really powerful and removes the single point of failure that is the machine/network that you deploy from.

With ElasticBeanstalk, Opsworks and Cloudformation they now really start to surround all the deployment workflows.

Definitely a great service that will in my opinion become very important to many many teams. You can also read more about our specific integration in our blog: http://blog.codeship.com/aws-codedeploy-codeship/

fmotlik··on As the Valley Burns Up, Boston Readies Its Next Act
We've been here in Boston now for about 18 months and for a European company it's been awesome. Great Network, great people time difference to european time is manageable.

Flights to SF are easy and the city has a great work focus, while feeling very small towney, in a good sense.

fmotlik··on Make Your Startup a Rocketship. 65+ Episodes. Thousands of Listeners
Nice, happy to come on anytime :). Intimidating list of speakers you already had, so I'll bring my best.

Been listening to the RocketShip a ton. It's awesome. Too many good ones to pick a favourite
fmotlik··on AWS Speed Test: These Are the Fastest EC2 and S3 Regions
Are there any good comparisons of other AWS services and how their speeds compare in different Regions?
fmotlik··on Learnings from Designing the Documentation for a Developer Product
Pusher (http://pusher.com/docs) and Twilio (https://www.twilio.com/docs) are also really good for getting started
fmotlik··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2014)
We're hiring at Codeship in either Boston MA, or Vienna Austria (with possibility to switch between both offices regularly)

We do hosted continuous delivery. We test and deploy for thousands of developers and have been in production release for years.

We raised a bunch of money at the beginning of the year and see great growth.

Obviously as a big part of our product is a proper engineering workflow we put a lot of work into automated testing, code reviews, continuous delivery and everything else that has to be part of modern software engineering.

We're currently looking for Senior Rails developers in either location

You can see more about us on our Team (https://www.codeship.io/team) and Jobs(https://www.codeship.io/jobs) page so you get a feeling how it is to work at Codeship.
