Hey all. I posted here yesterday (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28851167) but got flagged down because people felt the licensing was dishonest. I heard it and we've rectified. We're entirely Apache 2.0 licensed, so hopefully this isn't something that comes up again.
Another thing I want to mention. M3O is not a like for like comparison to AWS. Its a next generation cloud. The idea being, AWS was started in 2006 with a set of primitives that made sense during a datacenter/rack servers era. On demand VMs, storage, etc made sense. I think today those building blocks are moving higher up, especially for modern day development with the Jamstack. So core things are a DB (database) API and Functions, along with many other things.
M3O is entirely open source, the core services live in a vendor neutral org https://github.com/micro and we build a developer experience on top for a cloud hosted version of those services.
We look to reuse third party public APIs and fully managed infrastructure wherever possible. Rather than trying to replace the operational expertise of existing API providers, we're looking more to standardise the API experience with a uniform well thought out set of APIs and a clean simple dev UX. All of which can be accessed in one place.
Hopefully people are receptive to some of the ideas. We haven't rebuilt AWS, we're at the start of a journey and attempting to build Cloud 2.0 for a next generation of developers.
