¿Qué hace a un emprendedor emprendedor?

Os traigo una traducción más o menos precisa del artículo «What makes entrepreneurs entrepreneurial?», de la profesora Saras D. Sarasvathy.

El artículo original me lo descubrió y recomendó Ana Borrego durante el Yuzzday y me pareció una verbalización muy adecuada a algo que he planteado varias veces, y que he visto defender a otros emprendedores como por ejemplo Pedro Serrahima.

No puedo resumir varias páginas en un párrafo, pero muy básicamente habla del modo de razonar que usan muchos emprendedores de éxito y de que es contrario al modo de pensar de otros perfiles como el de los directivos.

Me pareció tan necesario que le he echado un ratito a traducir todas las metáforas que usa la autora, para que sea accesible a quien no se lleve bien con el inglés. Creo que es algo que puede ayudar, no sólo a emprendedores, si no a cualquiera que esté implicado en la creación de productos, que se mueva en mercados volubles, o que simplemente desayune incertidumbre en su día a día.

Espero que os parezca interesante y os resulte de utilidad.

WSO2 vs Azure API Management

Next values are estimations and all of them depend on the final production needs.

  WSO2 Azure API Management
Deployment effort 24-40 hours 1 hour
New API effort 1-2 hours 1-2 hours
Scale effort 4-8 hours 1 hour
Distribute in other location effort 16-24 hours 1 hour
Min dev. environment costs 1 machine = 587 euros yearly 486 euros yearly
Min pro. environment costs 12 machines + 8,500 euros (yearly) for production support = 15,544 28,288 euros yearly + 1,404 euros for VPN connection to private endpoints = 29,692
Pros –          It is more flexible thinking about configuration and deployment options –          Its management is easier and faster.
Cons –          Hard maintenance –          Its more expensive

–          At this moment you can only use this over Azure infrastructure.

Azure API Management

It is a cloud API Manager that can connect to public and private endpoints. It is provided by Microsoft and cannot be installed as on premise service (but they are open to suggestions about this point and it is under review: “There is no on-premises deployment option available at this time but you can vote on uservoice if you’d like this capability. However, you can certainly use Azure-based API management with on-premises systems and data.”).

At this moment it does not provide a monetization standard (but it is under review: ”We’ll monitor continued feedback on this item”).

It is planned to provide a standard way to have testing and live environments (Sandbox Environment – SBE).

Set Up

Follow a two steps wizard is the only need to set up an Azure API Management instance.

Azure APIM 1

Azure APIM 2

Advanced configuration can be provided in order to personalize security, rate limits or monitoring capabilities.

Use

A publisher can add a new API manually or import it using WADL or Swagger definition files.

Azure APIM 3

A subscriber can discover and subscribe to an API throw developer portal.

Abrir los ojos

Antes de las últimas elecciones ya, había varios que me decían (y siguen manteniendo): “las cosas no van mal ¿acaso ves a alguien pasarlo mal? ¿Conoces a alguien que le falte algo?”. Es un mensaje que me lanzan en discusiones amigos intentando justificar su intención de voto, y me da igual tú orientación, lo que cuenta es como miras el mundo.
