  Whoever downvotes you probably never tried Bluemix. Just saying. (I used it once at a hackathon several years ago and it was enough to make me want to not try again. I hope their current offerings are better. At the time, they had some utility which was supposed to compete approximately with Heroku workflow, and it was bad enough in the first 6 hours of the hackathon that we wound up spending an hour or more switching to Heroku instead of trying to figure it out.) Git receive hooks were straight up broken, I had to wonder if anyone internally was even using the product, and there was no indication that it was in beta. The hackathon was sponsored by IBM and the gentleman who was on-site to rep the line was not very interested in our problems working with the platform, only seemed to note that we didn't try more of the whiz-bang AI and NLP features that could have helped the core functionality we were trying to build. I wish I had told him that what we needed firstly, was four walls and a roof. I've had some better interactions with IBM Cloud team members at conferences since then, so it's fair to take my criticism with a grain of salt.
