LoopBack - a private, open source mBaaS based on Node.js • Hacker News Board

FWIW, I'm really trying to figure out what this is exactly. Is it something that can be used standalone or does it need to be used only as part of StrongLoop Suite? The marketing speak all over the place is so palpable that it obfuscates.

LoopBack is open source. The repos are public and the node modules have been published to NPM registry. As a Node developer, you can definitely use/hack it as usual.

LoopBack is part of the StrongLoop suite distribution too. That's where you will get an integrated solution (with StrongNode & StrongOps) and commercial supports.

Sad to see the NodeFly Logo die out. But great to see the product become part of a larger offering. Visibility into node.js event loop has been mission critical for our team. Way to go Strong loop and their mission!
