Let's hope they don't kill what is an otherwise great product.
I'm hoping they bought AppFog for the right reasons, because they want to add resources to accelerate it's market share (and of course profit). This would be good for us and PAAS in general.
But if they just bought it so they can play around with "cloud" and seem hip and cool to shareholders then let it wither on the vine, we all lose a little.
PAAS is where we're going next, any many already have. AppFog has done a great job of pushing out features and keeping the community competitive.
I would not have picked CenturyLink if they didn't intend to add resources and accelerate us. I am thrilled about this combination, there is so much cool stuff CenturyLink can do with us, it is not even funny. Expect a lot of fun announcements in the near future.
No offense, but that's pretty much what every acquisition ever hopes for... and then they find out after the 'no interference' clause in their contract expires you start getting 'Input' from the new ownership.
I hope for your guys sake this doesn't happen though!!
I sure hope that it's gonna accelerate a solution to the one big problem I have with AppFog ... lack of persisent storage. According to the roadmap it should have high priority but it's been a while since I heard anything about it.
That's good to hear. I've followed AppFog for quite a while now. I've seen a lot of passion and forward thinking stuff come from you folks, so I'm definitely hoping for the best.
