We are building ContainIQ ( https://www.containiq.com/ )! We provide Kubernetes native monitoring instantly with pre-built dashboards and easy to create monitors. A one-line install that takes 5 minutes to set up and it just works. By using eBPF we’re able to correlate kernel-level metrics with Kubernetes objects. Our current users are using our product to track and get alerted on things like p95/p99 latencies, Kuber…

Why choose Containq over Datadog?

Good question.

- ContainIQ just works. Comes pre-configured and you don't need a degree from DD University to know how to use it.

- We are only focused on K8s.

- We have differentiated features, easier setup and we take less time to maintain (ex our latency features like service latency and latency by URL path don't need to be instrumented on each application)

- transparent pricing. We are a flat rate of $250 per month up to 50 / nodes. You don't have to worry about insane bill spikes.

Congrats on the launch! Fantastic website by the way. How are you planning to reach out to students in high school? The Pre-U market in Chile at least is brutal, and there are so many competitors that I imagine it might be hard to get some market-share.

Hey, we have been operating in Chile for the last year, and we aquire users mostly with ambassadors. They refer our product and earn a commission. Most of our ambassadors are followers in IG ( https://www.instagram.com/filadd.cl/ ). Most of our competitors are Tradicional academies that are losing more a more share with new Covid Paradigms

Always great to see more YC startups from LatAm and Chile!

My house happens to sit right next to a freeway and a mall, and would be the prefect spot for a tower. Can I sign up as a landlord if the land I lord over is a small tract home?

Thanks jedberg. You can submit you land to the platform and our radio team will assess it for viability. All going well, you can absolutely manage one site or an entire portfolio

Hi Daniel. I'm probably just overlooking it, but I can't find a link on your site to submit my land for assessment. Should I just send an email to info at sitenna?

How does this compare to using metadata (eBPF bases metrics).

Could you expand on what you mean a little? We’re a full service platform that collects, stores and visualizes the data for you.

Hi YC, We’re Darrell, Jibril, and Robrecht, the co-founders of Appollo ( https://www.tryappollo.com/ ). Appollo is a single API to launch your app to all eCommerce platforms. Appollo enables you to create 1 app with our APIs and launch it to all the eCommerce platforms while also letting you maintain it as 1 app. Previously, you had to create and maintain an app separately for Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommer…

At first I thought this was so you could sell retail products through all these different platforms. I was thinking.... WHY?! But it is actually for ecommerce plugins/apps/add-ons and the customers are those companies making shopify plugins so they can develop once and deploy everywhere. Echoing other comments - a more clear description / example or word other than "App" might help. I think Add-On or Plugin might be…

Disclosure: I work for an established (maybe?) competitor to this idea; I say maybe because it's really not clear what you do until I read most of this thread, nor how you do it (or what's planned vs. available).

First, Welcome! This is a huge arena and I think there's a million, nuanced areas for companies to tackle and really focus on amazing merchant experiences. THis is a very big (and growing) pie.

Second, I think you'd benefit from trying to increase the clarity of what you do and the value proposition, plus how it all works. For example, I'm not sure how you can provide broad-based api support for 3rd party developers without script injection or strong webhook support, but maybe you've got a new approach? I also admit to being skeptical when you mention a feature as surpassing platform rate limits; we have a continual pain point with shopify, query cost calculation and throttling as an example.

Third, we also use a platform-agnostic solution, but then build internally on this before exposing client-facing services. After several years we don't support nearly as many platforms as you; how do you stay on top of all these unilateral changes? Just shopify keeps us on our toes, and some of the ones you mention have little critical mass making them unattractive.

Finally, it would probably help adoption if you at least gave some indication of what your pricing is going to look like, even flat rate or %, or totally custom... You're asking people to build solutions on top of your product without any sort of idea of what the long term ramifcations look like. That's a hard sell.

Good luck with the venture!

Browsing a bit through the doc I believe this is targeted to developers that build "apps" that online merchants can (buy and) use on their e-commerce website. I agree with alex: a sample app would probably make it more clear!

Thanks guys! Yes correct! we are targeting developers that are building apps/extensions for the website. Great idea about the sample app, will add!

advice from someone ina similar area: STARTER app not SAMPLE app. The former gives your clients a starting point to build production applications; the later is usually some throw-away sample code that quickly goes stale and causes nothing but support headaches. By extension, you will need to dedicate ongoing resources to keep this up to date; that's what you expect of your clients, so I hope you enjoy dog food!

Awesome idea - we own ~44 commercial sites in dense / infill locations and growing quickly - how do we get in touch? For HN this is a great idea because today the process of engaging cell operators is an absolute black box - literally fill in your contact info in a modal and hope for a call back. Zero transparency, totally inefficient and the companies themselves are a giant pain in the ass to deal with.

Delighted to hear you agree! It's been a pain for operators in every market I've worked in so it's not a small problem but starting on HN is a good first step. Send me a DM and we'd love to chat. We've launched in the UK and gathering supply/demand for US so let's chat and see how we can help

No DM on Hn? And getting an error on your website form

$50 a month is a lot of money for a lot of people with mental health issues. I get it's a lot cheaper then normal care by going to see a professional but I was expecting the student pricing I guess

I agree. For now, we offer financial aid for those who can't afford the sticker price.

Long-term: Maybe insurance or government equivalent can help? Short-term: Every new invention needs to start somewhere. There are plenty of rich, middle class, and even lower-middle-class families that easily have $50 a month to help out a struggling child / sibling / cousin / ect. Remember, new businesses need to start somewhere, and that somewhere is often selling to a very tiny segment of the market that they inte…

Yeah we're thinking insurance or B2B as potential avenues someday. Also will definitely be doing some streamlining as we build up :).
