This all started because we wanted a .nz domain name. Ten years ago when we started Pureflow.io we thought .io was all trendy. Only to realise down the track that we’d rather be seen as the local dogooders that we are, rather than a ‘Company From Elsewhere’.
It was going to take a few weeks, but now, a few months later, we are stoked to have our new platform up and running:
- Lloyd moved the back end infrastructure to Kubenetes to manage our mini-cloud and wrote a bunch of cool API’s to control everything.
- Gwilym made a Next.js/Prisma/tRPC client app so people can see their sites, add more sites, see DNS in realtime and manage billing.
- We exported over the data from our old client app and are restarting with subscription payment through Stripe (or bank transfers if that is preferred).
- Moved the whole lot to NZ based servers with redundancy.
- Lloyd re-built the backup model.
- Gwilym updated the logo and lost some time in Monotype Font Land.
