Welcome to America. I wish there were a better way this could be handled.

I've been keeping an eye on the ShipBuilder PAAS project - the minimalist Heroku clone written in Go. It is starting to look quite promising.

Quoting jaytaylor's comment [1] from below:

This has been done many times before. One such example:

I second your call. That would be a completely insane move!

I tried out SB today and so far I am impressed...it ran my Django app with zero issues. Definitely planning on pushing my company to start using this for their deployments instead of Heroku.

This looks incredibly useful!

In the repo (github.com/sendhub/shipbuilder) I see that it is written in go-lang -- which is quickly becoming my favorite programming language.

It also uses HAProxy, which I've used many times in the past and it is easily the most powerful software load-balancer in existence.

What a potent combination of technology...will definitely be keeping an eye or two on this!

Does anyone understand or have any theories on what Amazon's line of reasoning might be on this?

I sure hope they can get their act together. C'mon Bezos, I give a shit[1]!

This is really cool. I've been waiting for a way to give all of my employees their own virtual phone number, and since almost all of them have iPhones anyways, this looks great!

Would love to see an Android App for this (I have a Nexus). Anyone know what their current plans are for the droid ecosystem?

> .. Google .. but hopefully not evil.

Too late, the hive mind which is $GOOG has already shown that it will do as it pleases; "hopefully" good [when convenient], otherwise whatever is profitable even if it is evil.

Can't say I blame the $GOOG; this is an inherent problem with huge organizations -- the meta consciousness which emerges vastly undermines any altruistic desires of individuals.
