Brutal.

Super cool, just signed up. Going to see how these first trial drafts go. Thanks!

Giving me a good initiative to switch fully over to Postmark :)

While not directly in the Thinkpad name, I have an older X1 Carbon (4th Gen) that has worked really well for me. Extensive travelling, multiple drops, etc. Thing still is solid. Runs Debian really well.

I have only ever owned Thinkpads (until the carbon) and I don't see any reason I would personally switch back to Thinkpad version. Carbons are so small and perfect for my usage.

Shopify has been down quite a bit today as well.

How many emails do you send with them? I send > 200k and interested to know what their pricing turns into in the 'Enterprise' plan.

Thanks for the link though, good to see other people in the space (currently using Mailgun)

Ah, if only this was fully available ~ 4 months ago.

I transitioned my recipe app with ~ 80,000 images from Cloudinary to a combination of Backblaze B2 + Bunny.net a few months ago. I heavily use the resizing and optimizing features.

It's saved me a ton of money, but if I could have used B2 + Cloudflare with their 0 bandwidth alliance, I could have saved more, I think - haven't done the math though.

In the grand scheme of things, though, I've worked with Bunny now and love the interface, and performance. The one time I contacted support, I spoke 1 on 1 with , I believe, the founder of Bunny. He was cool.

Cloudflare is doing some killer things, excited for that. But glad to see we have small name alternatives to everything (S3 to B2, Cloudflare to Bunny, etc) that can compete on price and functionality.

Good stuff, though! More options the better!

Love it! Fantastic idea.

I am checking out some of the projects now.

Is there still an opportunity to get paid back, rather than keeping it in the system?

I love the idea of the loan continuing through the system for myself (I don't personally need the payback), but I'd imagine there would be some funders / loaners that would like the original system of getting paid back. Is that still a possibility?

I am sending this to a few friends that are really excited about African entrepreneurship (myself included). Great idea!

Great write-up. I've just switched from Cloudinary to Backblaze B2 + Bunny CDN and I am saving a pretty ridiculous amount of money for hosting thousands of customer images.

Bunny has a great interface and service; I'm really surprised how little people know about it, I think I discovered it on some 'top 10 CDNs list' that I usually ignore, but the pricing was too good to pass up.

The team is really on the ball from what I've seen. Appreciate the descriptive post, folks!

I predict an AWS outage sometime next week.

That's valid. I guess I haven't seen ads in a long time thanks to ublock, but makes sense for the general reader for sure.

Look towards Shopify Support Gurus. Paid well, fully remote. As a Shopify Partner I deal with them a lot and have never had a bad experience; while some can't always answer my question, I always speak to a human (24/7 via live chat) and they direct my query in the right direction.
