This looks like a cool service, and I am starting on a new project that might benefit from something like this. But the page failed to load 3 times, and the 4th time it took about 10 minutes to load. Maybe you are just getting overloaded from HN visitors, but still, that's a problem.

Do you also offer this as a service that can be implemented natively from another application? In other words, I'd rather not go to your homepage to do this, I'd prefer the customer add his/her information on my website, and have the processes automated with the results sent to me.

edit: EC2 was slow at first, but problem was redistogo

As someone about to use EC2 for some heavy servers, I would appreciate if you could tell me:

a) How huge an EC2 instance do you have?

b) What tech are you serving from? Express, ASP, JSP, etc...

a) large instance b) express/node

the core problem was redistogo, not primarily ec2, though someone else takes up a lot of CPU on my shared instance
