We love startups. Icicle has worked with lot of startups, specifically more so during the last four years, bringing their ideas and energy into a final product or service. While we do a lot of mentoring, we also get to know new ideas or observations which would have completely missed us if we are totally focussed on enterprise. You will find us more often at Startup events than large seminars.
This is a presentation given by Praveen Wicliff at one such Startup events, Startup Saturday, Mumbai. Event itself is focused on Cloud Computing and SaaS, where different startups have presented their ideas and products. Simone Brunozzi from Amazon Web Services (AWS) has presented how Startups can use AWS and promised some free Amazon credits. Yay!

Heroku has been our default hosting platform for most of Ruby on Rails applications we have developed internally and for our clients. Heroku’s Platform as a Service (PaaS) service frees the development team from a lot of server management and deployment activities and concentrate on application business logic and deliver project in a more agile way.
So, it was a mixed feeling when Heroku has announced that they have been taken over by Salesforce, the SaaS CRM provider. It is great to see Ruby and Ruby on Rails getting to the next level, playing strong against industry heavy weights like Dot Net and Java. Its great to see how a truly useful product like Heroku, that too on infrastructure side, gets recognition and reward within three years of inception.
