So roughly how much would this cost for a small team, say <10? I'm assuming far too much for me, since it's not visible anywhere, but I'm still curious :)
How much are you willing to pay? :) Seriously, though, it's probably priced beyond what most small teams could afford, but it's on a per-company basis which is why we're not posting prices. GitHub:FI was really built with large customers in mind, places with tens to hundreds of developers bridled with restrictions that prevent them from hosting their code on GitHub.com. There's no reason smaller companies can't use i…
Not using web services has less to do with being bridled corporate restrictions and more to do with preferring to use our nice, fully automated infrastructure. Hosting another small java servlet isn't going to make us break a sweat -- it'll be less work than trying to maintain user accounts and access controls across another web service.
For this reason, we solely use products that drop right into our standing infrastructure. I don't think we're too unusual in this, although we may be amongst the HN sample set.
