@drewmccormack Single source SaaS is risky. Now that we might see multiple Parse hosts, it becomes less risky.

@stevex Interesting if that eventuates. -
@drewmccormack There are thousands of developers right now wondering what to do. Hosted Parse is the easiest answer. Money to be made. -
@stevex Maybe. Not enough money for FB apparently.

@drewmccormack SAAS is so hard to do, because the moment it doesn’t do exactly what you want, it’s worthless to you… -
@LucasTizma I think the biggest problem now is just trust. If FB can't provide guarantees for your app's backend, who can?

@drewmccormack It’s not death of SaaS if product is sold as generic standalone that you setup on your own servers. -
@iFeliLM Presumably you picked Parse for ease of use. Now you have to maintain a huge code base and servers. Don't see many doing it.

@drewmccormack you mean platform as a service. -
@adrianthomas God knows. Bit sick of the acronyms. SAAS, BAAS, PAAS. Gimme a break. -
@drewmccormack Hehe, very true. But I definitely think SAAS as a model for customer-facing apps has a future.

@drewmccormack So I can run it on Azure, AWS, Heroku, or my local computer but get your product’s benefits -
@iFeliLM Sure, that is fine. Your software that you wrote. I mean more the 'we do it for you' kind. (Is that BAAS?) -
@drewmccormack I have no idea haha. So many acronyms but I see what you mean. Thins like Github, Parse, Basecamp. They shut down so do you!

@drewmccormack opensourcing the server or not, who would want to maintain that on their own?!
