Developers in Demand: Patform As A Service Is Key to Growth of Mobile Cloud

Isn't he talking about "Backend as a service"? Shouldn't he mention Parse or StackMob or Appcelerator Cloud Services, etc.?

Or Buddy?

The data in the infographic is pretty interesting, and the author's gist is correct, but it is sad that an article about "mobile backends in a box" doesn't even try to list some of the key players.

It's a fluff article provided to them by Engine Yard since if you actually were writing a real story you would point out the different providers.

So the article only mentions one PaaS provider, Engine Yard. Oh yeah, they supplied the graphics.

Strikes me as kinda close to paid advertorial, yeah?

That's why the title is Patform (as in _pat on the back_), instead of Platform. ;)
