Interesting self-hosted alternative to Firebase. I have some questions (as someone seriously evaluating this for use)!

  * How mature would you say your code is?
  * Is anyone notable using this in production?
  * What kinds of bugs have you seen so far, and what do you think the
    biggest obstacles will be for you in the future?
  * Is anyone working on this full-time? Do you plan to make money off of this?


Great questions

* How mature would you say your code is?

quite :-)

* Is anyone notable using this in production?

Yes, there are quite a few production use-cases. The latest app going into production using deepstream io for both web and mobile is https://briteback.com/

* What kinds of bugs have you seen so far, and what do you think the biggest obstacles will be for you in the future?

Mobile devices with flaky connections are always a challenge. So are many users simultaneously working on very small datasets

* Is anyone working on this full-time? Do you plan to make money off of this?

Yes. We're a full time company, based in Berlin. We'll eventually add a PaaS offering based on deepstream (deepstreamhub.com), but that is still quite a bit down the line.


"Yes. We're a full time company, based in Berlin. "

I think you need an imprint according german law then.
