madfloon Rate my startup: hosted continuous integration for Python

If I understand correctly your message, my buildbot master server and instances could be replaced by your service.

Well, I'm interested.

I'm building a SaaS application for customers in the health care industry. It's a Django project with about a dozen apps. Each app has its own test suite.

I would be interested in the following :

- ability to get some shiny output visualization,

- running some web hooks when a test suite is going nuts,

- ability to customize the environnement for each app (which libs...),

- ability to build swig modules and to link them against binary libs (32bits) before running some tests

It seems (unsurprisingly) similar to the versioning used on Google AppEngine file system.

That's 4 cores running at 2Ghz each. I agree that the 8Ghz notation is quite confusing.

I've been using the MiniCloud service for a few weeks during the beta (the service was then offered) and for a few days as a paying customer.

Well... everything is working pretty smoothly. I'm using their manager to upgrade/downgrade my host's RAM on a daily basis, as I'm using the cloud as a pre-production server for a webapp. The manager UI is quite ugly, to say the least, but sufficient to start/stop and upgrade/downgrade the virtual host.

I did not had to ask for help from the support team so I cannot offer any advice on them.
