Apprenda Shifts the Game on Polyglot Vs Best of Breed PaaS

By Ben Kepes on February 27, 2013

One of the biggest battles raging in the PaaS world has been between the Polyglot and the Best of Breed camps. In the polyglot corner stands Heroku, Engine Yard and Cloud Foundry who all say that only a platform that gives an organization the ability to develop in multiple different

Engine Yard Differentiates through Control and Choice

Engine Yard Differentiates through Control and Choice

By Ben Kepes on February 26, 2013

I kind of feel sorry for Engine Yard sometime – once seen as one of the two best-known Platform as a Service offerings (alongside Heroku), the acquisition of Heroku by Salesforce kind of reduced Engine Yard’s visibility. The subsequent release of Cloud Foundry, and the significant uptake it has had in the marketplace have further […]

Force.com and the Uber-Democratization of Programming

Force.com and the Uber-Democratization of Programming

By Ben Kepes on January 4, 2013

In the last few weeks I’ve started to riff on James Govenor’s meme, that of developers becoming the new kingmakers. I recently wrote a post discussing what I saw happening with Salesforce – how the combination of force.com and Heroku was creating a real gravity pull for developers and that Salesforce was primed to be […]

Follow Up Post – Continuuity, the PaaS for Big Data (and a $10M Series A)

By Ben Kepes on November 14, 2012

When Continuuity came out of stealth recently I was a little dismissive of a press release that was full of buzzwords and lacking significant details about what they’re actually doing. To their credit the Continuuity team reached out to me and spent some time talking about what they’re seeing in the marketplace and why they […]

Of little clouds and big clouds, local clouds and global clouds

By Paul Miller on April 20, 2012

Image: NASA Amazon’s globe-encircling cloud infrastructure is compelling to many. From Virginia to California, from Ireland to Singapore, and from Japan to Brazil; wherever you find yourself there’s a local instance of the same familiar set of services.
