Welcome to DabbaDrop

You're joining a seed-stage startup as its first and only engineer. 400 orders a day, 11 people, one server. Here's your handover.

✓ Laptop · Docker, git. That's the toolchain.

✓ Repo access · dabbadrop (one repo, everything)

✓ SSH key · prod-vm-1 — deploys are git pull && docker compose up -d

✓ Monitoring · none. Customers tell the founder.

✓ On-call · you. Always. There is nobody else.

Three companies, fourteen real incidents. Startups teach you to fix · scale-ups to systematise · enterprises to prove it.
