Unpopular opinion: Most startups don't need Kubernetes until they have 100+ engineers.
What you actually need:
- Render, Fly.io, or Railway

What you're doing instead:
- 3 months learning K8s

I have been fortunate to invest in 9 $BN founders and they all share a trait:
A desire for revenge.

I'm thrilled to announce that Timber will be joining forces with Datadog. What an incredible ride! Very proud of what our team has accomplished and even more excited for what's next.
