AMA w/ Rasmus Makwarth (Bucket) - what it's like to get acquired and why start a new DevTool company
Hey Product Hunt!
@roncohen and I are building @Bucket to enable developers in SaaS to ship the right features, faster.
Before that, we co-founded @Opbeat , got acquired by @ElasticSearch , ran the 100+ Observability team, quit, co-founded another devtool company, raised VC funding again, hired a wonderful team (remote).
Above all, we love crafting world-class developer tools.
If you have any questions related to dev tools, product craftsmanship, next-gen feature flags, trunk-based development, developer experience, starting a company, remote work, raising VC funds, getting acquired, being based in Europe (Copenhagen), and of course... Bucket — please do ask!
I'll answer them by launch day on March 18th!

Had you worked in a large company before Elastic Search? What are the things that you learned while running observability at Elastic Search that raised your game significantly when founding Bucket? What are you doing the most different from Opbeat?

I never asked: how did you @makwarth and @roncohen meet?
