It looks like the http api runs in node and uses mongodb and redis

#4There are a number of things that concern me about this and make me want to avoid using this product for the time being:
Hardcoded keys by default - https://github.com/CloudBoost/cloudboost/blob/8ca349b53a7a9c..., committed to git
Images being hotlinked off free icon sites - https://github.com/CloudBoost/cloudboost/blob/8ca349b53a7a9c...
Outdated versions of frameworks, like https://github.com/CloudBoost/cloudboost/blob/0242a7433fe327...
Hardcoded CSS styles all over - https://github.com/CloudBoost/cloudboost/blob/0242a7433fe327...
It's also requesting Redis 3.0 on readme, when stable is 4.0 - a full major version behind, and the vast majority of commit messages are things like "fix [something]" or "cleanup" or "staging",
I am normally not picky, and especially not if it's a personal project, but this appears to be a company with a commercialised product not meeting basic minimum standards - I don't see tests, I see public slack API tokens committed to the repo...

#5The founders of this have spammed most news sites, quora and stackoverflow with links. It's just a bunch of node js scripts with redis and mongodb packaged together, nothing professional at all.
They definitely do not have "50000" companies using this and are probably just using stolen logos on the (broken) homepage.

Lol. Of course. https://i.imgur.com/1y4NBgR.png
Code quality is quite possibly some of the absolute worst I've seen...
