Although I’m not actually the CTO of Devver, I had the pleasure of attending the Boulder CTO lunch this past Monday since Dan was out of town.
This week, the group had Todd Vernon from Lijit come lead the discussion. Although Todd is currently CEO of Lijit, he was CTO at his former company, Raindance.
The group [...]

At Devver we have a lot of jobs to do quickly, so we distribute our work out to a group of EC2 workers. We have tried and used a number of queuing solutions with Ruby, but in the end beanstalkd seemed to be the best solution for us at the time.
I have only seen a [...]

We’re happy to announce that on Thursday we officially launched with our first alpha customer!
Dan and I were both pretty nervous, but we also knew that this was an important step forward for Devver. I won’t say it went off without a hitch (we ran into a few bugs in the morning, which was pretty [...]

Behold my favorite picture of this awesome TechStars summer
Considering you can clearly see the Devver logo on Dan’s shirt, I think this needs to be in all our future marketing material. Nothing says “developers love Devver” like a developer doing a backflip in excitement. Awesome stuff.

We have received [...]

Thanks to talents of the one and only Andrew Hyde, devver.net now looks awesome. The text I supplied is far from perfect and we still need to integrate the blog, but it’s a huge improvement. Thanks Andrew - you rule.
We had a very exhausting but incredibly useful day last Wednesday. After being invited to give a talk at Pivotal Labs, so we planned a quick trip to San Francisco and arranged other talks with various Ruby developers. We arrived in SF a couple hours before our first meeting, so we headed to a coffee [...]
A little under two weeks ago, we had the opportunity to give a quick presentation/demo of Devver to our fellow TechStars and a few investors.
We worked on the presentation/demo a fair amount. We tweaked the slides to convey both our current focus as well as our broader vision. We created an entire fake website to [...]
After being asked by just about everyone what our company’s Twitter account was, we finally created one. We now have our very own Devver Twitter account. You can follow us to see what we are up to, and comment about Devver on Twitter with the all-powerful @devver symbol. Hopefully we will have some interesting thoughts [...]
