Diprocd, Control Your Processes Across VMs

Question of taste I suppose. In this case, I needed a simple way to manage a lot of dynamic processes. Normally you have process supervisors which are tuned to run your MySQL, MongoDB or whatever. That is, you would create one profile, often a file or a collection of file per process. With diprocd a given process is just a dictionary in a JSON file which allow ease of management of 100's of processes which change on a regular basis (each push on the PaaS creates a new series of processes on the nodes).

You can definitely do that as you will get inter node communication over the EC2 private IP. You can define your EC2 firewall to also segment your production/staging/testing setup. This would be very elegant.
