A good way to keep the complexity at bay is to expose an API, and let users build their complex stuff is they wish too. Any update on that front? :-)

Agreed. Contact view permissions seem pretty useless for what Relenta is intended to do.

Hi Dmitri,

Thanks a lot for the update. At Lokad.com, we did also entirely rewrite our technology in 2009 while migrating toward the cloud (Windows Azure in our case). It took us more than 12 months to complete the migration. The pattern look very similar to Relenta migration toward Slicehost. It was indeed a somewhat frustrating milestone, because apparently, not much as happening. Yet, the benefits were really worth the heavy investment, as better software foundations are a key asset to keep the project moving forward over multiple years. I am really looking forward the post-migration Relenta developments.

I am afraid measuring traffic in absolute terms in irrelevant, as it critically depends on the business. Posted more thoughts on that one at http://vermorel.com/journal...

Keep up with the good work. Those stats aren't half-bad, cloud computing is still a nascent B2B market, and this blog is really a valuable source of information. I am sure your traffic will grow :-)

Can't agree more. 6 months later, still no roadmap. As a follow-up on that one, I have posted extensive details about at it at http://blog.vermorel.com/?p...

Re: Lobbying Microsoft for Azure Compute, Storage and Bandwidth Billing Thresholds for Developers

Cloud computing is a paradigm shift. The largest barrier will be the migration cost of existing apps toward the cloud. A large market of experienced developers will be the key to succeed. Google already understand that they need to win the heart of developers to win the cloud computing war. I really hope that Microsoft will not stay behind in that area too.

Nice idea, very similar to the Microsoft BizSpark approach btw. When you create a company from scratch each single dollars counts. The first years are usually quite tough in terms of cash flows, but no one lends you any money precisely because you don't have any track record.
