> that can be made more cost effective in bulk I assume the Heroku guys have noticed by now. Hopefully they're working on designing Amazon out.

  It is interesting that Amazon never seem to go down the acquisition route- if they did, Heroku could be a target. I really want someone to make an RDS-like service for Postgres. But I don't blame people for not trying right now, I'm sure Amazon will do it eventually.

    Are you saying Amazon would buy Salesforce, or that Amazon would buy Heroku from Salesforce?
    • untog 14y ago
      I actually forgot that Heroku had been bought out by Salesforce- but the point remains that before they sold, Amazon could have been tried competing in any buy out. I can't quite believe Amazon has never acquired anyone, though- are there any high profile ones out there?

          Most of those look like online retailers and not iaas or compute services companies. No one builds services like amazon. They aren't interested in bolting on someone else's idea company.
