So does mass driver become a single source of truth for all information about my companies entire cloud or does it only maintain a track of what's been deployed through it.

I have a friend whos a manager at a large e-commerce company who's teams entire responsibility is to oversee all matters regarding their private and public cloud usage. They also manage and maintain services for internal use.

I would love to recommend you guys to them because managing deployments from over a dozen teams located around the world is hell for them. However they have an extensive private cloud setup, would your solution be as applicable to them as it is to companies running on public clouds?

It is a single source of truth, but only what is managed through the platform.

Private cloud isn't the best experience right now, its possible, but it requires our platform being able to 'get inside' so we either need a control plane exposed to us or a VPN connection in.

Self-hosted is our #1 requested feature, so we are cranking away at it. Its in alpha, and we're looking for testers/feedback. Would love an intro!

When you get self-hosted up and running, you may also want to consider open sourcing the private cloud portion as well. Think of it more as a marketing thing. Many companies <5 people tend to either go all-in on the cloud, or their own servers if bootstrapping. For teams on the cloud, they don't need your product, yet. For teams who are running their own private clouds, they do. Eventually, they'll grow into the cloud and bam, they start paying you.

It's a long game, but might be worth it.

If this is for the company I think it is for, they won’t use this as they have a very strong NIH culture.

Never heard of the phrase, "NIH culture" before. What does that mean?

That's "not invented here". HN could really benefit from a glossary of acronyms.
