Ask HN: How do I write good API client libraries?
I'm writing some new API client libraries in a variety of languages (PHP, Java, Ruby, C#, JS, Python) for an API.Is there a list of best practices or a good resource for doing this? Both in general, and language specific?Here are somethings I'd expect to see in such a resource: - How to handle instantiation of the library (static functions with static API credentials vs new instances of the...

Re:Ask HN: How do you host your company's marketing site?
on Tuesday August 12, 2014 @12:55PM (#8168702)
See this Asana post on how they do it: http://eng.asana.com/2014/02/scaling-asana-com/
This still requires Statamic, PHP, and AWS Elastic Beanstalk. That would appear to be expensive for just a simple static site.
Ask HN: How do you host your company's marketing site?
We'd like to switch to hosting our marketing site, blog, and documentation using Jekyll. We've used S3 for other projects to host Jekyll sites, but we'd really like to have HTTPS enabled for all connections.This made me wonder: How does the world host static marketing sites (or company blogs and docs) that are cost effective, reliable, and secure?

what i dont understand is, why would any one want to START with a VM that has some one elses data on it? Forget people wanting their data scrubbed on delete.

Re:Ask HN: Best way(s) to distribute a self-hosted, non-compiled product
on Monday June 17, 2013 @12:16PM (#5894006)
I can tell you for a fact that this is not true when you're dealing with enterprises or software that is vital for the operation of your business. These types of customers demand to have products hosted internally.
Ask HN: Best way(s) to distribute a self-hosted, non-compiled product
Say you have a product written in Ruby, Python, PHP etc. and you would like to distribute it as a self-hosted solution.What are the best ways to go about doing this without having to worry about people ripping off your code?I assume answers will fall into some of the following categories:- compile/obfuscate code (i.e. cpython)- submit product as a virtual image (like github enterprise)- just...

what happens if 1 shard contains a whole slew of large companies (macy's, gap, etc), or over time users on one shard grow to the point that they cannot be contained within one physical machine? Are they just assuming that this will be very unlikely?
