Yet another cloud offering with "NSA inside".
I'm so desperate for an alternative that I would rather put my data in North Korea if they had a cloud offer.

#23Cool: apparently it works with Heroko buildpacks. So I can deploy Play framework apps as well with the Heroku buildpack for Play.

You may want to check out the following offerings:

#25BlueMix is IBM's rollout of the open source Cloud Foundry product (I work on Cloud Foundry). You can also check out our own example rollout at run.pivotal.io if you want to see how they stack up.
Out of curiosity, what do you believe the advantages of Cloud Foundry over its competitors (such as Openshift) are?
I've used both, both as a developer and as a sysadmin and I have to say I like Openshift more. Mainly because of the ease of setup and the reliability. Cloud Foundry had issues for me.

#26Also check out JazzHub, IBMs entry in the online software tools space. It provides source code management (unfortunately based on Rational Team Concert and not something like Git or Mercurial), agile tools and a decent web based code editor based on Eclipse Orion. It integrates nicely with BlueMix, you can one click deploy from within JazzHub. I had early access to this so I could write an article for their developer…
I always thought RTC would not include a VCS. On wikipedia it mentions "source control" and a possible "integration with [..] Git". According to your comment this is not a simple seamless integration?

#27What a serious wording fail.
"A platform where developers can act like kids in a sandbox"
That sounds like they consider play a necessary evil.

Have you seen the intro to this (dated) video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=je1EXzdv-Aw
They explain why IBM did this in entreprisey wording. As if development should be slow and developers shouldn't be left alone 'Playing'.

"Create apps with the efficiency of a cold-blooded cyborg." That's good copy.
