Congrats to Chas and the Aptible bunch. Really smart guys. Also saw they joined RockHealth. Tackling a ton of hard problems in healthcare to make it easy for people to build apps. Learned quite a bit about HIPAA compliance from their blog, but it seems like they've taken that stuff down, unfortunately.

I looked at it the other day and it starts at $3,500/month. That's pretty much a non-starter for any bootstrapped health startup that wants to deploy a working MVP.

There is a development environment at $0.06/hour.

Anyway, I agree. I think the pricing is a bit too high for bootstrapped health startup.

Seconded - I could not be more excited for them (especially as a customer!). I know Chas & Frank from our days together in the Blueprint Health accelerator[0] (they were in the class before mine).

Aptible is going to allow a lot of people to enter the health-tech space when the costs would otherwise be prohibitive - it's going to be huge. Forcing every company to duplicate all that compliance work in-house makes no sense, just like having every company maintaining its own colo hardware makes no sense.
