Technology investment, blog, and COVID stuck 🐜

Our blog section becomes alive ❤️

And even some articles were at the main of HackerNews. 🤓

Blog writing is a pretty good idea for SEO purposes, but the conversion rate is quite small, so it's more about long-term ranking investment.

We've started 3 months ago really fast with a straightforward and not optimized solution. Now we're having several fundamental tech basics that help us to have the API with close to 100% success rate and low latency. One of those basics is a good and reliable proxy provider. Our goal is to make a good product, so it's not a good idea to save money on the quality of the components 😉

The last month was pretty tough and full of waiting - we've finished all the hard work to move all into the Kubernetes cluster, but we still have to wait for the legal documents to be finished for moving from MVP to a real product. 🧳

The K8S improvement doesn't require really so much time but in case most of the borders are still closed we're not able to spread the technology using our self-hoster solution instead of RapidAPI only because of company registration delays. 🤷‍♂️

So, while we have some time before all the documents will arrive, we're working on a more stable and reliable service, understanding business needs and pains and pushing the things forward as usual 💪
