Rate My iPhone App
http://middow.com
It's called Middow and it basically takes two locations and finds the midpoint between them. You can then search for pretty much anything around the midpoint and meet people in the middle or whatnot.

I have already pushed out the first update which will save addresses you search for so you don't have to type the same ones over and over. That should be approved by the App Store either tomorrow or sometime soon after that.

Also, if you wanna be a sport and give me some free publicity, digg this story!

think we all agree that the internet is one of the top inventions of the last few decades, if not the century. We are all on it constantly, and very few things in our day to day lives cannot be done via the Web. What that means, and this is backed up with proven numbers, is that we are all spending more and more time on the interwebs. We do our shopping, research, education, and now socializing through various websites.

Deciding on our server infrastructure. Challenge
In December of 2020, we got very nervous.
Let's go a little back in time. We ran our very first infrastructure on a small German data center.

They offered a really nice UI, were GDPR compliant, and also much cheaper than the big international competitors in comparison.

What we were not aware of, was that they provided a maximum of only 10 servers.

This meant that there was no way they could scale with us long term, as our team is located in different countries and utilize hundreds of nodes. It would have not even sufficed for our launch alone.

Our dream requirements were:
initially 80+ servers in one German datacenter
each server having >50GB RAM and >10 vCPUs
>20% automatable growth per month
low price per node
easy monitoring
managed load balancer (HAProxy)
simple reimaging
dedicated NVMe SSD’s for our ETDC cluster
GDPR compliant

In the long run, we want to scale to hundreds of servers per data center. We strive to have multiple data centers in the USA, Asia, Europe, Russia, and Latin America with ideally, as few providers as possible.

After having 20+ calls with hosting providers, it seemed that all of them would either be more expensive or did not provide what we required at scale.

We realized that it was unrealistic to secure and maintain our own hardware and keep our launch schedule on track at the same time.

Although we found multiple providers such as Contabo, SysEleven, and PlusServer, that could get the job done, we ultimately decided to collaborate with Plusserver to build our own datacenter on their new GAIA-X infrastructure.

We believe that trusting your infrastructure to be able to scale smoothly with you is the key requirement to be able to focus on your product.

We are more than thrilled to be working with the guys from PlusServer and whether or not this was a success, you can be the judge of, after testing Codesphere. :)

What are your experiences with infrastructure decisions? What can we do better?
