I was a dotcloud customer around 2012. You might have responded to one of my many support emails.

Ha ha, thank you for your trusting us back then! Hopefully it was a good experience? Scaling reliably on AWS was not so simple back then...

Haha, well, let’s say the experience motivated me to learn how to run nginx and uwsgi on my own :)

I’m building a tool that lets me organize sheet music, rehearsals, and share with groups I play with.

Also building a Golang middleware to record analytics (saved into a local duckdb)
