I think I get the idea but I wouldn't trust any critical information (esp. user info) with a 3rd party, at least other than my host. If this product is supposed to be like Wufoo that's fine, but if it's meant to replace the primary database used in your web application then I don't think this is viable. I'm sure latency will be an issue, as well as security and privacy.
- skevvis 16y agoThis is a cloud service, so a developer would have to be comfortable relying on external services, including data storage. As this is becoming a trend among developers, there is more comfort with having your infrastructure external.
- mdolon 16y agoAnother fear I have is that you could change your terms or your prices at any time and I'd be stuck, as all of my user data would be on your machines (unless of course I could export them). Personally, I'd rather have full control over my database, though I'm sure a few others would be OK with this setup.
- skevvis 16y agomdolon - I completely understand where you are coming from - having been in that situation myself many times. Being a developer, I am planning to have this completely open - download your data at any time, either via REST APIs or a full export.
