Level 3 Platform - What about BungeeLabs Marc?

Over the past weekend, Marc Andreessen over at his blog had a great post describing internet platforms from developer perspective. Down below in the extended post, he lists the companies offering(sorta) Level 3 platform - Ning, Salesforce, SL, Akamai, and Amazon. While I don’t exactly agree with that list, one company that Marc did overlook is BungeeLabs.

One of Marc’s core requirement is that Level 3 platform should allow third-party application code to actually run inside the platform. If that is the req, no other company has a better lead(roughly 4 years) in the market then BungeeLabs.

As a developer, not only you get  a L3 platform to code in directly, but also a browser based environment that will make you forget your super heavy Eclipse client in matter of few days. And not to forget, you don’t need to get webservers and appservers since Bungee takes care of that too. There is waaay more Bungee then I can put in a post. Wait for another couple of months to discover the real L3 yourself.
