Interesting article, thanks for the link! If a company uses its main domain in the same way gitlab does, SSO is the only way to avoid security flaws. We do not support SSO now, but implementing it is feasible. Feel free to send us an email if you have a company IdP and you want to use Sametab.

Hi,

Antonio from Sametab. You need to signup w/ Google or validate your working email before being able to read the announcements. This security rule is enforced into the database (it's Firebase Firestore).

> I'm curious how well protected it really is.

Feel free to ask questions!

> Also, is the first email from domain X to sign up the default admin for that domain?

The first one becomes the admin. We already implemented a RBAC system for managing users' permissions. You'll be able assign admin permissions from the webapp soon.

> How do you resolve disputes?

Drop us an email and we will re-assign the permissions!

> My idea is to just buy a domain, publish the link somewhere it makes sense and wait.

It's not so easy building a SaaS business. It was barely true 10yrs ago.

What is your tool about? What problem does it solve? What is the ideal person that would like (love) to use it?

> Do you have any recommendations on how to maintain, scale and market a service like this?

If it's a simple API w/ or without a DB, use Amazon Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, or Firebase. Amazon/Google will do the Ops work for you and you won't have any fixed infrastructure cost.

PS: The hard work is not scaling/maintaining the service, but acquiring customers ;)

I think that Docker is changing the cloud computing scenario, no doubts about it. Docker is like a swiss army knife. AWS is doing great integrating docker with Elastic BeansTalk and we can say that AWS is becoming even more a PaaS provider now.
