Reminds me of how we got scarred by "parse.com" -- it was also a promising database, and our customer insisted on it, but after lengthy development and just before our project release turned out that they are shutting down and noone works on it anymore. Like literally their support said "uhm sorry folks, we're all hired by Facebook, no one is working on parse.com anymore".

parse.com was my last straw building on "as a service" startups because of this. DaaS is not even particularly good for hobby projects anymore given how easy it is to work with sqlite.
