I think this has largely to do with the acquisition of Heroku and the notion of “you can mine for gold or you can sell pickaxes.” [1] It seems to me there is a gold rush for the pickaxes now.

Wait... If there's a gold rush for the pickaxes, does that mean it's time to sell pickaxe stores, or just go mine gold now that pickaxes are so cheap?
