Who would you say are your major competitors?
- traviskuhl 15y agoi think Github and similar hosted SCM providers are potential competitors. Atlassian’s line of enterprise products are also similar to our offerings. Github is definitely the company we fear (and have a crazy amount of respect and admiration for). At their core though I think Github and Backyard have different focus’. Github is focused on (and in my opinion succeeding at) being the best-in-breed Source Control platform, which means things like centralized authentication, deployment, continuous integration, internal communication, etc are not (currently) their focus. Backyard’s focus will be providing a complete integrated infrastructure platform. So while SCM will be an important component, it wont be the sole focus of our company.
- pbreit 15y agoI would try to find a way to complement GitHub, not compete with it.
- traviskuhl 15y agowe currently offer only a hosted git & svn option for scm. we definitely plan to offer integrations with GitHub in the future, because we think their service is awesome and we understand that a lot of businesses have already chosen them as their scm provider.
