Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don't know -- by some guestimates fed into http://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html I ended up with an estimated 600USD/month bill ... so what would they gain by complicating their architecture when they're already able to handle the traffic?

And what guestimates would those be? I doubt they are serving 10TB in static files per month. If adding a CDN to your architecture is too much complication then I would definitely not want to use your product for my business. It's literally a question of pointing CloudFront to your server, and substituting the CloudFront assigned domain in for static assets. Also, from what I can tell, they aren't handling the traffi…

> And what guestimates would those be?

1gb/week with 60% traffic to the US, average 20kb size with 1000 reset requests/month. I'd love to hear some more realistic estimates. And while (server/service) price is far from the most important consideration, it sounds like they manage to stay way under 50 usd/month in hosting currently. So as anything over 30/month would be a considerable (relative) increase. Add to that doubling? the management overhead from, say, an hour a week to two -- and they'd need to see some clear benefits? And what are those?

As for "open live instance, it says "ready soon" for me - but perhaps that is because they didn't, as you say, handle the traffic after all?

Taiga.io hit #1 on @HackerNewsYCBot for a while today (thanks HN!). Traffic up 100x. I was dumb enough to ask our developers if we could handle it. This is what they sent back http://goo.gl/B57ERn Each little "ball" is a request to the server On the left: the IP numbers from the users connecting around the world To the right: The url's being served up In the center: The "static calls being serviced by our front end T…

Is there any such tool (free or not) that integrates with GitHub and it is ready to use? It would be great to not maintain 2 issues list, 2 milestones etc.

I've seen https://waffle.io/ talked about in previous posts, but haven't used it or Taiga. Github issues is painful enough in the past that, for companies I've been in at least, we used other issue trackers anyway (Jira and Pivotal specifically) so I'm not sure how market there is outside of open-source. For me, Taiga looks like a nicer solution for private projects (replacing redmine, trac, etc.)

They have a CLI interface in addition to the web interface. That's a refreshing feature. They also have a vagrant box which you can use to take it for a spin until the live instance is ready. https://github.com/taigaio/taiga-ncurses https://github.com/taigaio/taiga-vagrant

It's more common than you think; RT and Trac both have cli interfaces.

The kanban approach is quite similar to Odoo Project. You can test the online demo: http://bit.ly/1CGha87 The Odoo Project website: https://www.odoo.com/page/project-management And the github page: https://github.com/odoo/odoo Some of the features I like in Odoo project: email gateway, pivot table reporting, cross-project tasks or reporting, timesheet integration.

What's your relation with OpenErp / Odoo ? (i'm implementing OpenERP/Odoo for some of my clients :-) )

Looks great, can't wait to see the demo, and the acknowledgement of entering an already crowded space. Personally I think many of the tools that are out there right now could very very easily be out-performed by an open source tool. I sometimes wonder if killing another company's revenue by creating an open-source tool (that is as-good or better, which you generally strive to) is moral/ethical... I know it's not bad,…

They are destroying other companies revenues (but let's wait and see) and making revenues for themselves (they want to launch a PaaS at the end of the beta). This is what we call business and it happens all the time. Example: Apple and Google have been doing it to Microsoft in the last ten years.

Doing it by open source doesn't make it less or more moral than doing it by close source or any other lawful way.

Anyway, even a pure open source model would have been very moral in my humble opinion: it might harm one company but it lets many more companies lower their operating costs. One company performs worse, many companies perform better. Overall that's a good thing for me.

The project seems really nice, the import from redmine is very much appreciated, especially as most of people who may be interested to use this application are likely to already use something, and will therefore need something to make the migration painless

I've seen there's a ncurses client, would it be possible to also have a full CLI one too. The rational behind would be that this way linking my git repository and taiga would be as simple as changing my hook script to use this CLI tool, same for the CI scripts

Completely agree, I will add this User Story to our backlog, then all depends on priorities or our free-time interests :P

Thanks for the feedback
