Comment on Charm shutting down because of unfixable kernel panics with Rails on Ubuntu

Comments

What was Charm? What did it do?

100k for "infrastructure alone" seems like a massive investment for a startup. How far along were they?

It was a customer support / issue tracking service.

This type of service has been written many times before without kernel panics.

I didn't get to see Charm before they shut down, so I have no idea what they were doing.

Could anyone speak towards how their experience was unique enough to cause kernel panics?

Anyone outside of the company would just be guessing. If anyone inside of the company could answer that question, they wouldn't be shutting down.

Pointless response.
