Will this change the platforms you target?

I'd love to see your services running on Google Cloud Platform, for example, so that they could be used with co-located customer services.

We'll target more. We should have a good GCE option soon.

Good to hear, a managed PostgreSQL service is the one big thing missing on GCE for me.

Check out www.elephantsql.com, we provide managed PostgreSQL on GCE, AWS, Azure and Softlayer

Yeah aware of ElephantSQL but the concern is lack of SLA and lack of big company backing. If you guys disappear, what happens to my databases since they run on your subscription, not mine. Hence why having an IBM backed Postgres on Azure is attractive - even though big companies can be frivolous, there's a comfort in knowing they're less likely to go out of business.

+1, except would awesome to see this on Microsoft Azure. The current SQL database as a service offering on Azure is expensive with mediocre performance. A highly available Postgres as a Service offering backed by a big co like IBM would be most welcome on Azure.
