When we started Zero, we weren’t even sure there _was_ a correct design for the kind of query-based sync engine we dreamed of. We spent two years finding that design, then hardening it for production use. We always imagined a hosted version too, because (a) running a sync server is never going to be fun 😅, and (b) gotta make money! Starting late last year, we were finally able to begin work on that hosted version. Initially it was invite-only and small, but we're now in production and syncing thousands of messages per minute for teams like @productlane, @passionfroot, and @shipper_crm. Cloud Zero is production-grade Zero hosting from the team that built it: - no servers to run or maintain - 24/7 monitoring and alerts - automatic zero-downtime updates - fast NVMe-based architecture - run as traditional SaaS or in your own AWS account We’re onboarding manually, but it’s quick. And if you’re already self-hosting Zero, we’ll help migrate your setup. Get started today at: zerosync.dev/cloud

So basically, software engineers like to crash early and ops like to degrade gracefully. I think this exposes something kind of interesting about both disciplines and subtle about running software at scale.
