   Interesting catch. I'm wondering how Jira was very successful in the early days without spending much on marketing / sales and without mojo :)

   After a lot of comments around consistency to our last post ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12921389 ) we decided to cover that in a blog post and compare all services. Happy reading.

   CloudRail doesn't touch the data. Everything flows P2P between the app and the provider. It's like if you integrate the native AWS SDK. So even if CloudRail goes completely down, your integrations will keep running.

   As I understood it, it is more a solution for dev-ops to create the infrastructure. Like a provider agnostic CloudFormation. CloudRail is about making it super simple to integrate APIs into an app.

   Thanks. I'll correct that typo asap but currently I don't want to clear the cache :)

   I know, but it's the limitation on characters for headlines on HN. Isn't it clear with S3, which is storage only?

   Even if you don't want to switch and believe in non changing APIs, it is easier to integrate with CloudRail :) But as already mentioned, this interface is really part of a bigger offering. We want to handle all your integrations eventu

    We have a very simple interface for email here: https://cloudrail.com/unified-email-api/ But it just offers sending emails. What you described is actually a potential candidate for a next interface. Would love to discu

    Very good question. Of course all services behave a little differently which is out of our control. To be honest, I don't have an exact answer on that. In my first tests I could chain a download directly after the upload with all servi

    Definitely a good alternative until we have a Python SDK :)

    Nope, we don't use it but it is a very cool project. We have SDKs for Android, Objective-C, Swift, Java and Node.js so far. That's why we couldn't us it anyways. We don't want to compete with open source projects like th

    Our system monitors the APIs and informs us about changes or the provider does. This happens usually months before the integration would actually break. Afterwards CloudRail updates the SDKs and informs the affected users via email and in t

    This allows you to easily integrate multiple of these providers if necessary or easily switch. Of course you can integrate them one by one on your own but that takes a lot of time time. With CloudRail it's one API which works even cros

    This is our brand new unified API for enterprise cloud storage providers. It's part of the CloudRail API Integration Solution which consists of multiple unified APIs for different categories like social, payment, consumer cloud storage
