software is becoming like the fashion industry. you go to Prada vs Hermess because you think one does better shoes and the other better bags. But is not because neither could do better shoes or bad it isb ecause your mind positioning is set.

I lived for a few weeks in 2009 in the original Airbnb house on Rausch St when Brian and Joe had an extra room. I learned a ton: from extreme community care to perseverance and kindness.

Kong Inc., the microservices API company. We’ve built one of the most popular pieces of open source software in the world (Kong API Gateway) and grown a large and active developer community. We’re looking for a few great people who want to be part of a fun, highly-collaborative team.
Another way to add a fast, distributed rate-limiting on top of your APIs is by using an API Gateway [1] like the open-source Kong [2]. This pattern is becoming a standard since it saves time from re-implementing and duplicating the same rate limiting logic in each backend microservice.
Great tool. Would be cool to see where these companies are now. Perhaps adding another columns and filter to get Status info: Acquired/Dead/IPO/Active.
Paw is engineered by a top notch team in France. They care about quality and details. We at Mashape have partnered with them in the past and they are super responsive and always focused on the best experience for the developer.

imho serverless architecture doesn't mean that your app is without servers 100%. Backend still serverless, but everything on top (like an API gateway, load balancer, service discovery, etc) can have dedicated resources.
