Here a few video tutorials http://wiki.dreamfactory.com/DreamFactory/Videos#How_Tos.

I still need to look for other BaaS on the market (after the old Parse dot com), but this one could save a lot of time for build intelligent agents on the chatops-wg.

We could go deeper and find people with IoT real user cases and go beyond to just use this tool just as generic interface to abstract data to databases

Wow, DreamFactory team really done a great job at packaging. Look at http://wiki.dreamfactory.com/DreamFactory/Installation.

They even have some windows packages at https://bitnami.com/stack/dreamfactory/virtual-machine for local development.

DreamFactory id a open source software package that provides a complete REST API for mobile, web, and IoT applications. This repository is just a playground, a testing to see if worth pass for the others at the ChatOps for non-DevOps people Working Group 2018/01.

My initial impressions are: wow, this is very very powerful; not only the very basic (non optimized for production) setup could be done by someone who do not have knowledge of DevOps, but it also helps to abstract as a relative single interface a lot of data sources. I still need to test other BaaS, but this for sure is not bad. And it have a very good plus: it connects to a lot of databases, it does not force you to use just one or two drivers.

## Ok. It works. But now is much more about read documentation (with a lot of 
## good video tutorials) and this can be made by some coworker later. But
## the interface of dreamfactory is very very friendly. More friendly than a lot
## of vendors with lock in out there.
