More openness and choice than ever beforeBluemix is anything but locked down. You choose how you build, deploy, and manage your apps. Bluemix takes care of the rest.
ComputeChoose the level of infrastructure abstraction based on your app’s architectural needs.
Dev ToolingFrom editors to source code management to continuous delivery, you can use Bluemix’ powerful tooling or easily bring your own.
LocationDeploy apps to Bluemix Public (in a growing number of geos), your own dedicated cloud Bluemix, or one that runs within your data center.
ServicesPick from a catalog of IBM, third party, open source, or your own services to extend your apps.
