Yes! Well said.

It would definitely need to include:

* Web code editor for jobs (JS, Python, Ruby, Perl, Go, etc., etc.)

* Results served over an authenticated API (e.g., servicename.com/api/<username>/<jobname>/files/result.csv would get you the latest result.csv file generated by your script, .../<jobname>/20140419/files/result.csv would get you yesterday's, etc.)

* Jobs could probably be both scheduled (i.e., cron-like) or triggered via a webhook

Might make sense to stick with JS to start with for the sake of simplicity.

I actually wrote a Node.js PaaS that I never open sourced & periodic short lived jobs was one of my use-cases.

Let's continue via email.
