Jsonstore.io – Store your data for free without signing up

Just enter the website, copy your link, and start sending HTTP requests to store data.

So this is the same what Pastebins are for unstructured texts and image hoster for pictures. At one point, at least everybody realizes that JSON can host arbitrary data -- such as unstructured text -- and pictures as containers, can do as well.

I wonder how the operators of these free services act in terms of durability. https://jsonbin.io/ proudly reports: "21838 bins created". That probably does not need much storage. But what if I use it regularly from my systems? I'm not so much convinced of just another service which allows storing data for some time, probably with a nice UI.

(Actually I noticed this with http://sprunge.us/ -- I included uploading a build log into my build systems which my team is using now. At one point, sprunge.us started to give back 500's for us, basically stopping working. Sure, switching the service takes a blink of an eye.)

Good point. We cannot trust any random service. It takes some amount of investment, dev time & server costs to keep the service up and running. The reason I developed this service is to ease the storage process for the developers developing mobile or small scale apps, so that they can focus on the app rather than spending time setting up the database. Just to keep the website up and running, I'm going to introduce nominal amount plans which developers can afford and it pays my server bills. I'll ensure that I've SLA in place when am introducing pricing. The only reason I've not introduced pricing on the website is I don't want to charge for something basic what am providing for now. Will add it when I provide more powerful features which are already under development.

To make it clear:

- jsonstore.io is intended for small projects, mostly for the open-source community. It's not a datastore you can use to store all the logs of your company, and we do have quota limits.

- We do nothing with your data, it's secured and if you want to store sensitive data you may want to encrypt it.

- The idea of this project is to provide the open source community a easy solution for storing casual usage data/settings for their projects.

It even has an automated assistant...who looks like he's about to beat you up and take your lunch money.
