Dan Wells - The EskomSePush Journey
Channel: ScaleConf
Date: 2020-04-04

Herman Maritz and myself launched EskomSePush in 2015, to monitor and alert on the waning national power provider in South Africa. We built a brand to keep light-hearted around this dark situation, and tried to make South Africans smile instead. We've experienced various scaling issues throughout our journey, and have come up with some interesting (lazy) ways to handle them, while still remaining a 2-person team without any funding. I'll talk through our journey, some highlights & lowlights, and some of the ways we handled our scaling challenges.
