Services has passed several milestones since its separation as a team from Labs. It has launched multiple products, successfully transitioned the flagship product (Sync) to a new codebase, worked with ops to build a robust operational infrastructure, and supported the rapid user growth that comes from being integrated into Firefox. | Services has passed several milestones since its separation as a team from Labs.

Up to this point (mid-2011), the focus has been on launching these products. It's been done well; things are generally modular and focused on code reuse, but the present allows us an opportunity to step back and focus on building a platform for further applications. By analyzing these as generic components, rather than code pieces working towards a goal, we can make them robust enough to support anticipated future work and flexible enough to accommodate reasonable unplanned feature needs. | Up to this point (mid-2011), the focus has been on launching these products.

By analyzing these as generic components, rather than code pieces working towards a goal, we can make them robust enough to support anticipated future work and flexible enough to accommodate reasonable unplanned feature needs. These components should be available to all of Mozilla (as well as the open-source community) to enable rapid development of services. The fact that this is a framework focused on REST-like *services* is what sets us apart from the other frameworks out there. | ||
