As a public cloud service optimized for Big Data applications, GoGrid gives developers access to a number of open source platforms, including Hadoop, Apache HBase, Cassandra, MongoDB, and Riak.

Now GoGrid is close to taking that concept one step further by exposing an API to the GoGrid cloud platform.
