Illoominus, a Techstars-backed company, is a turnkey people insights platform that enables organizations to become people-first by learning across their HR technology stack and sharing best practices with other people-first organizations. As Illoominuss customers invest in high-performing cultures, here are some of the problems Illoominus helps their customers solve: Avoiding the "10 p.m. Sunday email" situation: Leaders are empowered with need-to-know data that provides better data for better decision-making. Building shared responsibility for culture: Regular, automated reports for department leaders put the right insights in their hands. Diagnosing root problems to save money: By bringing together key data across systems of records, recruitment, and engagement, Illoominuss cross-system insights help solve root problems and target initiatives for improvement.

We want to make it possible to build a complete scalable app in an afternoon. We’ll make it 100x easier to build applications and bring the ability to write software to a billion people. Were starting by making it easy to build a backend. Today, the complexity of building distributed applications far exceeds the complexity of an app’s design. This unnecessary “accidental complexity” takes up the vast majority of application development time and limits who can make software. Modern architectures make even simple applications hard. We make API calls using REST and HTTP/AJAX, but we also need queues, authentication, transactions, retry logic, error handling, and rate limiting. We have to choose infrastructure – Docker and CoreOS and Kubernetes and more (after all, It’s The Future). We need to deploy: check your code into git, run your tests, and integrate your continuous delivery tool, all before enabling your code with a feature flag. All this complexity is a tax on software development. 2009’s startups had easy monoliths built on top of mature open-source software and simple cloud hosting. By contrast, today’s startups rely on microservices and third-party APIs and services, brittly held together with string. A project that should take an hour actually takes weeks, because we spend all the time writing the same low-level distributed systems code again and again – and that’s before maintenance, operations, monitoring, security, etc. All that time spent on solving accidental complexity is time that can’t be spent on making delightful products for your users, and solving important business problems.
