Somehow I just learned about this company recently. I really enjoyed this post. I didn’t know much about supply chains before reading it and I don’t now I’d imagine but I know more than I did. It is written in a common sense and straightforward manner. I really identify with their values and I think they shine through here.

If I’m being entirely honest, I’m a software developer and I am not quite sure what they are selling. I wonder if their compute product compares to Amazon ECS, their storage to S3, and their networking to Amazon VPC. I am not entirely sure. I am new at my job and I would love to one day to convince my company to go with an ethical cloud provider but I believe that the agency required for such is still some long distance from my current position.

I signed up for their newsletter.

Finally a bit of fun by the author. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32513240



They are not a cloud provider, they sell servers. So you have to pay a couple million for a big rack full of servers. That product will offer some of the same things that you would do on a cloud.

If you were a cloud provider, you might want to buy this system rather then some Dell/HP machines.

Just took a close look at your post. That was quite clear. Thank you.
