The lowest tier of service will remain free after the beta is finished. The free tier gives you access to a lot less resources, but it should still be useful.
Within the next week, we'll be pushing Ipython clustering. You'll be able to pay for additional compute nodes of various sizes and Wakari will provision them and integrate them into an Ipcluster.
Seriously though, great work on your whole product suite! I keep finding myself going "I wish it would.... oh, it does.", and that's the kind of thing that will keep me around.
side note: when viewing a slice of the yahoo dataset plotted interactively in wakari, the zoom tool seems to completely crap out. the whole notebook hangs. updated chrome on win 7.
It's a lot of points, but I was just pointing out that it wasn't slow, it failed.
Back to my previous post, the ipython clustering I mentioned was pushed to production tonight. There might be some rough edges around it, but we want to get it out so people can start using it.
Feel free to send feedback through our support channel or even chat through the integrated chat service. It's mostly developers fielding the chats. But mainly we'd love to hear about your perspective. We want to make sure the service is geared around data, people, and workflows and not just the latest or hippest technologies.
