AppFog Understands Importance of User Experience; Adds Third-Party Service Providers

For those who love open source coding and sophisticated programming language but cannot stand configuring servers and load balancers, there is AppFog. Helping developers to deploy and scale web-based applications through a sole point of access is the mission of AppFog. Their recent news release, "AppFog Enhances User Experience with Additional Add-On Partners Blitz.io and Iron.io," discusses the addition of their latest third-party service providers, Blitz.io and Iron.io, to their Platform-as-a-service ecosystem.

The add-on program has reportedly been a success with users. The news release said the following:

The intuitive interface displays partners’ services allowing the customer to easily integrate additional functionality into the applications they build on the AppFog platform. This is AppFog’s third installment to the program; the company plans to continue expanding its partner ecosystem adding new tools and solutions to the program throughout the year.

Removing complexity for the end user is of great importance in today's technology market. We even see AppFog make great strides in this area in terms of explaining their services with a concise and easy-to-follow video on their introductory home page. Their focus on the user experience will take them far.
