+ 1 - we've tried so many alternatives recently and can't find anything that works as hoped.

Pipes was certainly an inspiration behind what we've been working on at tray.io - sad to see this come to a close.

Hats off to all those that worked on the product - great to see it remembered so fondly.

Hi, I'm rich the co-founder of tray.io..

There are quite a few different parts to our technology stack, and we were planning on doing a few more blog posts outlining the tech and challenges we have experienced..

For now I'll say that we are based on the jvm, using a mix of scala and java, typesafe stack, mongodb, redis, nginx, vert.x all hosted on AWS..

Savings, Selling (thing I own) and Freelance kept us alive for a long time until we first raised some money. Lots of occasions where the lights actually went out, but as old friends it was much easier for us to brush it off and keep finding ways to press on.
