#2For me, the most interesting thing was HTML server-sent events which I had never heard of before. Thanks!

#3Can everything be enabled without spark.io in the loop? In other words, can I just use my own home server and get the same functionality today?

From the homepage (https://www.spark.io/):
What if I don't want to connect through the Cloud?
That's okay! The Cloud is there to make the Core easier to work with, but if you'd rather do it yourself, that's no problem. The Core lets you do your own socket programming over TCP and UDP.
If you want the simplicity of the Cloud but you want it on your own server, we'll be releasing an open source version of the Cloud designed for quick and easy deployment.

Thanks, so the answer is no, as long as that open source version is vaporware.
The reason I asked is that once they get purchased by, say, Google or Facebook, their cloud services will probably get either shut down, or severely constrained. I'm not interested in sinking resources into a platform based on question marks.

#7This is great, nice job! I work at Keen IO and we're kind of obsessed with smart device event data. Do you think Spark users would be interested in an API to collect & query all their Spark events? For example we have integrations so that any Stripe or Sendgrid user can collect & query their payment/email events. I could imagine a similar integration for Spark events. We also work with smart devices companies. There could be some really interesting partnership opportunities here. Thanks for sharing your post!

I think you missed this part:
> The Core lets you do your own socket programming over TCP and UDP.
There's nothing stopping you from writing your own TCP/UDP listener server and having the Spark write to a port on that.

#9What does this have to do with the "cloud?" Does it really mean "Internet?" The cloud is about scalable resources that can be elastically leased for short or long periods of time. That's different than the Internet, which is a means of communication...

Supposedly they are going to open source the cloud side of the software so you could setup your own. I would wait for this instead of writing my own tcp connection.
