thanks for the feedback. you're not alone with that concern and it's something we thought a lot about in designing our infrastructure. we approached the problem in a few ways. 1) building as much of our technology on top of existing open source software. that way if you choose to move to a new product, your data is compatible and the transition will be much simpler. 2) making much of the infrastructure component based, so that you don't need to use everything all at one. you'll be able to slowly migrate data from existing services into our infrastructure. 3) your data will always be your own and exportable for you if you so choose. Backyard came out of our own experience at different startups. we spent valuable early engineering cycles setting up infrastructure, much of the time just recreating something that many other people had already built. so we understand the concerns about entrusting core pieces of a technology stack to a thrid-party. we plan on working closely with our users to help adress those concerns.

definitely good advice. part of the reason we decided to post today was to try to get a larger user base and figure out what services they're most interested in. we plan on keeping our initial beta groups small, so we can work closely with our users to figure out what services they love, what they don't really need and what we can add that would improve their experience.

i think Github and similar hosted SCM providers are potential competitors. Atlassian’s line of enterprise products are also similar to our offerings. Github is definitely the company we fear (and have a crazy amount of respect and admiration for). At their core though I think Github and Backyard have different focus’. Github is focused on (and in my opinion succeeding at) being the best-in-breed Source Control platform, which means things like centralized authentication, deployment, continuous integration, internal communication, etc are not (currently) their focus. Backyard’s focus will be providing a complete integrated infrastructure platform. So while SCM will be an important component, it wont be the sole focus of our company.

We had been using this on a few of our side projects for a while now (since Amazon introduced custom origin servers on Cloudfront) and figured maybe it was something others would find useful. The systems is modeled after a similar system we used at Yahoo. Right now we're not charging or anything, just want to see if people find it useful before we expand. Let us know if you have any questions or have other features you'd like to see added.

good catch. thanks! should have proper filtering now. that's what i get for writing code at 2am and not properly reviewing.
