Ask HN: What about the software industry in Iran?

28 pointsby erkanerolover 7 years ago
I am a Turkish Software Developer and I wonder at the status of software industry in Iran? Do you have any experience or knowledge? I have made some researches about conferences, meetups, events etc but I haven't found anything.

I'm a developer from Iran. because of US sanctions there are multiple cloning startups for every major global app and websites like amazon, uber, airbnb, waze, google/apple app stores, itunes, netflix etc. some of them are very popular like digikala, snapp, bazaar, etc. community is very young, although there has been a lot of new conferences and events in last few years, there is no huge international event that I know of.

US companies cannot buy, sell, or work on open source with Iranians due to sanctions, which probably hurts a lot.

Worked for Oracle. They block all downloads, even of the free stuff, from computers in Iran.

I am an Iranian software developer which I live in Ankara&#x2F;Turkey. The IT Industry in Iran and turkey is a little different. Because of sanctions using cloud infrastructure is not popular in Iran and most of the companies are using their own private infrastructure which causes high cost and less reliable services.<p>Meetups in Ankara is so popular too. In Ankara, we have at least a meeting every 2 days but in Iran, it may be a meeting per 2 weeks. The most of meeting in Ankara is technical and they talk about technologies and tools, in Iran, most of the meeting is about business and startups.
