Java, MySQL, Scheduled Tasks, and more!

We're excited about the latest features we deployed today: MySQL, web-based DB Admin Console, and Scheduled Tasks.

• MySQL. You asked for it, you got it! Morph AppSpace now supports MySQL. To use MySQL, create a new Morph AppSpace subscription and choose MySQL for your database. Note: this is only possible for new subscriptions, if youre application is already using PostgreSQL, you'll have to manually migrate the data to another subscription.
• Scheduled Rake Tasks. We have also released a functionality that enables you to execute Rake tasks based on a schedule, eliminating the need to manually execute them. It's as easy as creating a Rake task, deploying it with your application, and scheduling it through the Morph Control Panel.
• Web-based DB Admin. If you want to manually make changes to your MySQL database, we've also provided PhpMyAdmin.
• Updated UI. In our continuous effort to improve overall user experience, we've also updated part of the user interface particularly your subscription management pages (you get there by clicking the Manage button of your application's widget). Of particular interest is the Dashboard where we'll be adding even more useful tools/widgets in the future. So watch out for that!
  

Other additions

• Java goes out of Beta. About a month ago, we announced Morph AppSpace for Java and Grails in limited developer preview. We're very excited to tell you that this major feature is now publicly available. The Java and Grails community can now take advantage of our fully managed deployment, delivery and management system to side-step time-consuming challenges such as hosting setups and deployment tasks.
• Affiliate program. Last week, Morph Labs launched its Morph Affiliate Program, a simple affiliate service that makes it very easy for developers and individuals alike to earn commissions through referrals whenever someone creates an account through the referrer's unique sign-up link. More info here.
  
• Invite a friend. In addition, you may want to simply send an email to your friends, telling them about Morph AppSpace using the Invite-a-Friend option that can be found under your Account tab and at the sidebar of the Morph Control Panel. The Invite-a-Friend feature allows you to earn referral fees as well.
