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

He seems affiliated or at least heavily invested: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=pinky07 In my head OpenERP was the company that took contributed code, changed the license and slapped a price tag on it? (Anyone: Feel free to defend them, - it might just be my bias against AGPL and the fact that I thought their price tag for the commercial version was unrealistic last time I evaluated it.)

Not at all.

Of course, Odoo has dependencies on several libs but the whole code (framework and the 240 official modules) have been written from scratch. (I wrote a huge part of it)

That's actually the reason why it's so integrated; there are no interfaces between the different apps; every app is fully standalone (you can install project management only) but fully integrates with the others when you install more modules. (timesheets on tasks, billing of projects, contracts related to projects, ...)

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 d…

You are actually seeing the dedicated IP "custom ssl certificate" charge ($600/month). Check the cost with and without that option. I just used your exact numbers and the monthly cost is $0.73 without that.

Note that doesn't mean you cannot serve your resources over HTTPS. It just means you cannot alias something like "cdn.yoursite.com" to the cloudfront cdn, you will need to use the cloudfront https url.

Cool visualization! But the top 50% of that (which seems to be the most dense) could have been completely avoided if you just slapped a CloudFront instance in front of it.

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?

It looks very nice and easy to use. Question though. Do you have something for Epics like in Jira, or a way to create sub-projects for a project?

Also, is there any future plans for building in some sort of review tool?

What do you exactly mean by review tool?

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.

You can do a lot of things in RT via email also, e.g. close a ticket, assign to someone else, move it to another queue, etc. with special tokens in the email body.

With the Atlassian Tools, there is Crucible which allows you to pull in revisions to be able to compare and diff files and post comments.

Hi, the link should say (for now) "Almost ready" when you hover. We will have that ready soon (soon = days). We don't have problems with adding a CDN at all. We do that a lot for many other projects. It's just a matter of this "stealth launch of Taiga" going out of control, we didn't need a CDN for a 1 core + 1 GB RAM virtual machine, which is what is actually handling all the traffic. Having said that, expect a CDN in place next week.

Hi, thanks. I didn't mean to indicate you weren't capable of adding a CDN. I was just providing a counter to the "why complicate the architecture" argument.

Thanks for the explanation of the "Almost Ready" message. I do see that, however I took it to mean that an instance was being spun up (as I waited). Might want to change that to "Coming Soon" or similar.
