Hey, Hacker News! My name is Jeff and I’m one of the co-founders of the company behind Sniped. Happy to answer any questions.
We were inspired by the “12 Startups in 12 Months” movement, so we wanted to ship something before the month ended. We built this app as a light-weight and fun way to keep track of unlocked laptops which we constantly saw at our workplaces.
The current stack is pretty standard: Gitlab CI to GKE via Helm, Ruby on Rails, Redis, Postgres, and an EFK logging pipeline. We’re planning on re-using this setup for our next set of apps and will write a blog post on our development strategies for velocity.
