WebTask: run code with an HTTP call. No provisioning

This is awesome. The sandboxing architecture (clusters, ELB, controllers, Docker, etc) is surprisingly similar to the one I implemented for http://repl.it It's made simpler since I have network access disabled on the docker containers, but check it out, it can run Node as well as host other languages: http://repl.it/languages/nodejs

Very cool. Far easier to use than AWS Lambda.

Not clear from the homepage. Is this a paid service? Open-source project?

We are experimenting with the concept before productizing. Part of it is open source if you want to play on your own box: https://github.com/auth0/webtask-runner

Wow. It's amazing watching the industry converge on this sort of thing. We architected similar designs during the six month pre-planning period at my current startup.

Pretty cool. Reminds me of webscript.io
