Do you see sandstorm as ever hosting medium-to-large scale, externally-facing websites (as opposed to personal or intranet-type sites)?

- kentonv 11y agoSome day, yes. However, for now we are focused on the use case where the infrastructure reports to the user rather than the developer. Developers ship packages, users choose where to run them (whether on their own machines or a cloud host). We feel we have a lot more value to provide in this use case than we would have in the SaaS infrastructure market. Also, if we can make it just as easy to use apps on a user-controlled server as it is to use SaaS, then SaaS no longer makes sense -- it's biggest selling point is that it's easy. I believe a shift back towards more decentralized infrastructure would be a very good thing, so that's what we're aiming to create.
