Hey guys, I'm one of the founders. Our goal is to let you deploy code to the cloud really simply, without worrying about servers and infrastructure. You write your code, a small config describing the stack you want (i.e. Fedora and Python), and the interface into your code (i.e. the functions you want exposed.) You type `stackhut deploy`, and it's live as a API that can be called through a POST request or RPC.
In the backend, we spin up a new Docker container for every request to your service, so it can scale horizontally with no side effects.
For instance, here is a service that which compresses a PDF: http://stackhut.com/#/u/lanthias...
Here is the code that was `stackhut deploy`d: https://github.com/lanthias/pdf-...
If you sign up for beta we'd love to walk you through deploying a service (we currently support Python and JS).
Would love all thoughts and feedback here, or you can ping me at leo@stackhut.com if you'd like to chat.
Cheers!
