After 5 months in private beta, PiCloud, a cloud computing platform for the Python Programming Language, is now open to the general public. PiCloud enables Python users to leverage the power of an on-demand, high performance, and auto scaling compute cluster with as few as two lines of code! No server management necessary. All new users receive 5 free compute hours of computation. You can find out more here: http://www.picloud.com
Full service description: PiCloud is a cloud computing platform that integrates into the Python Programming Language. It enables you to leverage the compute power of Amazon Web Services without having to manage, maintain, or configure virtual servers. PiCloud integrates seamlessly into your existing code base through a custom Python library, cloud. To offload the execution of a function to the cloud, all you must do is pass your desired function into the cloud library. PiCloud will then run the function on its high-performance and automatically-scaling cluster. We quickly scale our server capacity to meet your computational needs, and only charge you for the resources you actually consume. Getting on the cloud has never been this easy! PiCloud improves the full cycle of software development and deployment. Functions that are run on PiCloud have their resource usage monitored, performance analyzed, and errors traced; we further aggregate all your functions to give you a bird's eye view of your service. Through these introspective capabilities, PiCloud enables you to develop faster, easier, and smarter. Common use cases for our platform: * Scientific computing * Simulations * Video and image encoding * Statistical analysis of data sets * Real-time data processing * Charts and graphs generation Cheers, Ken Elkabany PiCloud, Inc.
