Treeline (YC W15) Wants to Take the Coding Out of Building a Back End

This looks great! I can imagine this lowering the barrier for building a quick side project significantly. I have a FT job so working outside of that stack means I have to spend a lot of time figuring out configs and other non-business logic related work.

Now a question - say I have a Treeline app that works great for a little side project. But eventually the project grows really big, both in traffic and scope. Is there a way to get off of Treeline (export code?) or do you think Treeline can scale well in this case.

You can take the code right now and download it and deploy it to any infrastructure provider you want! We provide a command line tool to sync code down and work locally or to package up and deploy.

Treeline compiles your apps to Node.js apps using the SailsJS framework. Your code is available to you at any time via a command-line tool--we offer the hosted version as an added bonus.

Great question :) code is recompiled in realtime as a node app you can deploy anywhere.

Also just as a note, I would shorten that demo video by just skipping over that Twilio setup part.
