Founder of Commando.io here (https://commando.io). One man... Wearer of many hats.

Commando.io is SaaS that helps companies and people manage their servers. Think distributed SSH with a full audit trail, versioned scripts (call them recipes), and automation (full API and scheduling).

Very cool, but this definitely worries me a bit

I'm not sure if I want the tools I use to manage my production servers to be managed by one guy. What if things start breaking and you're not around?

Valid concern for sure. So the answer is basically I've setup lots of tests, monitoring, and alerting (thanks Pingdom, Runscope, and Pagerduty). Quite truthfully the code is stable and mature as this point. Shoot me an e-mail, I can go over more details if you're interested in learning more.
Interesting! Do you face resistance from customers not wanting someone "else" to access their servers as root like that! How do you deal with it?

Can you share some tips on attracting new customers? the marketing aspect
