curious to know how you can use http://baasbox.com and deploy it on EC2. It's open source and free, but I guess mobile developers don't like backend work.
Next week we are gonna publish a specific tutorial on AWS.
Just seems like a waste of effort just because someone wanted to write his own database software.
But deploying it looks like a snap. They have documentation on how to do this on their site.
Sorry to the baasbox db team for the incorrect assumption. But it might be a good idea to make the underlying db a bit clearer, assuming I didn't miss any obvious mention of it (which is quite possible).
orientdb is a fine db, indeed it's one I was thinking of when I was wondering (incorrectly) why they wrote their own.
Thanks for your correction.
What is the benefit of using proprietary platforms like Parse and Stackmob?
OrientDB was a clear win for me because it was open source and free while other Java Object databases had license fees attached in tiny letters.
The author of OrientDB was very helpful too on the google discuss groups. OrientDB included everything I wanted, SQL for POJO storage, server or file storage DB.
