I would love to see a BaaS that have a visual interface and supported a work-flow. Somewhere between a rules engine, a workflow diagram and a object diagram, where scripts (my preference a Lisp, but I don't see why a variety of languages could not be supported) could be inserted into the workflow.
For a good deal of small mobile apps and simple web apps this would be a great tool for modeling simple CRUD workflows. I have several apps that this would be great for where 90% of it is just save and retrieve data where the other 10% need transforms or business logic, hence being able to place small transform scripts in the workflow. Now granted it's not going to scale to an enterprise solution, but there would be a lot of value to being able to stand a back-end up in a few hours by diagramming it out. I think of it as kind of like BPEL for REST services. If it existed I would pay for it, and I can't imagine that I am the only one.
