Show HN: Chunk – Code sandbox for back-end devs

Chunk co-founder here. We spent the last 2 weeks building this to scratch our own itch:

As developers, we often have problems that could be solved just by running a few lines of code. Sometimes, running this code on your local machine is fine. But other time, the code need to run automatically reacting to external events or to run continuously, which means, it needs to run on a server somewhere.

So now, you have to find a cloud provider, to package or build the code and finally to deploy it. All of that for what could be literally be 4 lines of code.

We couldn’t find an easier way to do this, so we built it.

Chunk is an all in one web editor (think of the codesandbox experience) that allows you to write, deploy and run a piece of code in the cloud from a variety of triggers: HTTP, WebHook, manual or scheduled (cron).

No setup, no build, no deploy. Chunk makes you go from idea to code running in the cloud in seconds.

Let me know what you guys think!
