We take security very seriously, which is why we designed Relay to work so that we never have to see your encryption keys. If Let's Encrypt is working well enough for you, that's g…

From the cryptic terminal commands to the innumerable ways to shoot yourself in the foot, I always struggled to use TLS certificates. I love how much easier (and cheaper) Let's Enc…

Unfortunately auto-scaling is incredibly application specific. It would be a great feature, but it seems likely to be quite difficult to make a particular solution that is useful t…

A number of people definitely found their way through the toolbelt code to use the API previously, which is amazing. We hope by giving a stronger focus and some proper documentatio…

Both the format and version are in the same header if that helps. So there are a couple values in there you might have to change, similar to the couple values you would have to cha…

Sure. I haven't tried either. Its on my list of stuff to dig into and sort out, so hopefully we have a better answer soon.

We definitely used what you mentioned as a starting point. There are some changes, hopefully for the better, but it should in time provide all the same functionality in a more publ…

Billing is definitely on our todo list as we progress with the beta. Provisioning new accounts is a little trickier as it could potentially open the door to abuse. Which isn't to s…

I was pretty sure that was the kind of thing you meant, but just wanted to clarify. The API should certainly facilitate doing the kind of setup and management that this would requi…

Thanks for sharing the link. There definitely can be a lot of gotchas and things that are easy to overlook until you see a good talk or are right in the middle of it.

Great, do let me know if there are particular questions you have and we can be sure to cover them. Otherwise I hope to start covering the key things that I think are interesting or…

I had not really explicitly considered that possibility in working on this. I suppose this is a step closer to that, but there are still some pieces that we would need to add. What…

Yeah, that would definitely be an interesting way to use it.

Interesting. I fear I'm mostly a back-end type of guy (ie not much experience with XMLHttpRequest). Sounds like the browser may be at issue to some extent. I certainly find the beh…

Thanks, glad you like it. A ton of thought went into a lot of the little choices like that. We plan to dig more into how and why those choices were made as we move forward.

Sounds like a great approach. What can we do to better support XMLHttpRequest?

Totally. I definitely hope that this will lead to many, many fun weekend projects. Definitely really excited to see what people dream up.

I would be happy to explain. We did provide a legacy API (v2), the platform API is the next iteration on the design (v3). The legacy API was mostly used just internally and we knew…

Exactly. For simple cases just shelling out to the API is good enough, but many of these deployable apps are a bit more complicated. Especially those that need databases or other a…

Those repetitive setup tasks are definitely one of the things we wanted to provide an easier solution for. I definitely look forward to simple scripts instead of multi-step manual …
