Unlike Facebook, backand main business is being a Baas. It has a lot of developers and fully backed. In addition, Backand's unique feature is that you can get the database connection and the server side configuration any time you want!

The first thing I read here https://www.backand.com/about/ is

> "Backand’s proprietary technology".

This means, if Backand will be acquired and shut down, all my time spent on learning specifics of Backand infrastructure will be wasted?

Are there any plans to open-source the platform? That would give some guarantee and peace of mind.
