Give your users a home on the Atmosphere. We'll handle the heavy lifting. Managed PDS infrastructure for your brand. 🚧 Work in progress, by @socialde.pt
Moving protobase.at to a new Cloudflare account, expect some downtime for a few. Be back asap!
This is a really nice project, commoditizing atmospheric hosting and making it easier to get set up for communities and organisations 🎉

tomorrow, after work, @protobase.at. i'll be inviting a couple lucky peeps, you'll have full access, i just ask you do pds provisioning and onboarding, see if theres any hiccups along the way and message me on signal if you find issues. big or small. whos up for it? let me see hands. 🙋🏽♂️
The amount of work I put in to just have a nice way to host an @offprint.app branded PDS is crazy. It's almost ready for you all to start breaking it in private beta. But you've all been waiting patiently, mostly... So heres a peek at the server provisioning flow.
Good question, it entirely depends on the target audience of your project. If you’re creating a tool for atproto users, you probably don’t need to host a PDS. If you’re building an app that just so happens to be on atproto, but may be used by anyone. You might want a branded PDS.
R. Alex Anderson@ralexanderson.com · 3w agoAt what point does it make sense to run a PDS for your users alongside your app, like what @npmx.dev or @tangled.org does? Is the Bluesky reference PDS still the best place to start?
i know a few people wanted to get into the private beta of @protobase.at, but is there anyone that would like to get access once it ready? (should be this weekend or next) i know @zeu.dev and @psingletary.com are def interested
@protobase.at question: when a pds is being sunset, how should we handle accounts? 1. just full send, delete all users, blobs and server 2. make pds to readonly, notify users to give migration grace period, then delete server 3. figure out way to migrate users to a public, open protobase hosted pds
working on @protobase.at gave me a little wishlist. none of it is hosting policy, just stuff that'd help anyone running more than a handful of accounts. 3 things i'd add, all filed as issues [🧵/5]
yet another reason we need PDS-as-a-Service (gestures towards @aka.dad and @protobase.at)
Tynan Purdy ⁂@tynanpurdy.com · 2mo agoAtproto identity + otherwise totally normal ass app is an underexplored and powerful pattern
Good question! So we are looking into ways of implementing some moderation services that integrate with moderation labelers like Skywatch to help detect, and takedown accounts. These tools will be tunable by admins. Also…
JP@byjp.me · 3mo agoHey @protobase.at, one thing I’m a little nervous about with per-account billing is spammer accounts. What kind of protection do you think you’ll provide? (Both in terms of preventing ecosystem spam & wasted fees)
Finished up the landing page for those curious to learn more about Protobase and it's offerings. Added a waitlist, give any suggestions or ask any questions if things aren't clear enough. Pricing is not set in stone, but it will start at $19/mo for 100 accounts. 📮 Join the waitlist → protobase.at

i wouldn't be @socialde.pt / @aka.dad if i didn't show off the gorgeous ui i've been working on for this. (excuse the errors, happened during initial federation setup attempts)
it's coming sooner, rather than later. follow along. protobase is a b2b pds saas, going to make it possible for application developers to easily spin up a pds in minutes
dad (aka miguel)@aka.dad · 3mo agopds as a service almost ready. federation working, account creation working, just need to test custom domains next (probably the most important part) the site is not ready, it'll just 404 if you try to access it. but follow @protobase.at to keep up now that it's really happening
