There is a contact us on the bottom of the features section by "get it". Or you can just email me at larry@cloudsidecar.com. The enterprise version has some really interesting features, such as bridging redshift and bigquery.

This is a side project of mine that allows you to take your existing apps and make them work on multiple cloud apis without much code change.

Yeah kind of. Whatever the implementation is, the idea is it is managed for customers rather than having to build their own Cassandra cluster and piping.

There is a data store option for /dev/null... so yes

Caboose is a Backend as a Service (BaaS) that my friend and I built as a passion project. The idea is to drastically simplify the steps needed to build or prototype almost any type of application without compromising functionality and power. We built an experience that makes development simple and accessible by allowing you to develop and define your backends using plain old English. You can also extend anything we provide with JavaScript, Java, PHP, or Python.

While there might be some rough edges, please take a look and tell us what you think. We know there are a bunch of BaaS providers out there, but we feel the functionality and simplicity of Caboose makes it a stand out.

Is this any better than scala.js?

Hmmm weird. I think your account was created anyway, can you try to log in?

Caboose is a Backend as a Service (BaaS) that my friend and I built as a passion project. The idea is that there are so many common steps to build or prototype an application so why not make it super simple. We have built backend functionality to power almost any web or mobile app you can think of. Our UI makes development simple by allowing you to develop and define your backends using plain old English. You can also extend anything we provide with JavaScript, Java, PHP, or Python.

I'm very hypocritical.

You're probably right. I was being a bit excessive with the beer comment, I just found it funny that I never recognized anything on tap. I'm also not really an IPA guy =/

No, it was a three day period in the middle of the week.

How is this different from those old complex event processing frameworks?

Why not use hip hop?

Isn't that a bit of a misnomer, they are integrating with existing delivery services. From the subject I figured they were providing their own? Either way... cool....

i feel like a lot of people seem to jump on to "schemaless" dbs because they feel the can just dump whatever they want into the database. they also run into a problem later on when they realize that they need to care about data integrity and types.

ive used impress js before for presentations at work. Easy to use and it can do some fun things. using powerpoint or any type of office application on a mac is always a pain.

I think in my head I had container ON A VM. Which just inherits the problem of running it on a VM. Is there a good linux tool for limiting the IO of a process or user?

Isn't running a database in a container sort of bad practice? Especially if it does a lot of io

Looks pretty cool. While you are building stuff, can you add in dynamic alerts so that I can create alerts around events I care about?

Linux containers have been awesome for helping me sandbox user generate code. Has anyone actually had experience with using Mesos in the real world?

Does anyone have some good reading material to start getting into functional languages?

I just had this discussion with my friend today. While it is true that building a simple simple api from scratch is pretty quick, the hack-it-super-quickly api gets really hairy really quickly. Later you have to spend a lot of time refactoring to make the API scalable and easy to add endpoints and functionality. And usually you realize you have to refactor when the poop starts hitting the fan and the hacked together solution isn't holding its weight anymore.

I started off using my own implementation and was thinking about switching to docker... what made you switch away from docker?

Remote api is pretty cool and makes my life easier, but how much functionality does docker provide over running lxc-* style commands?

I am curious about this as well... Why can't you connect between different VPCs?

Compiling while editing. Intredasting.... I assume there is some crazy dependency algorithm.

What is paypay? Am I the only one that noticed that?

I have and I actually thought it helped a good bit, but then I got lazy and started writing test cases only after I develop.

Such a great, stable, and easy to use product. Keep it simple and reliable.

Not totally related to the article, but every technology has its use. I get really annoyed when people ask me why I don't use ruby or mongodb at my job. I hate this movement towards "blog technologists" that basically read something in a blog, maybe (probably not) try it out themselves for something small and assume it is the best for everyone and if you dont use it you are stupid.
