Indeed, seems like a single cloud.call will not give you any parallelism, you need many calls. So the whole parallelization challenge is left completely up to you. Still, this is a nice approach, and I'd like to see more companies in this space.
- willbmoss 17y agoAgreed, a very cool idea. I believe you are right on the parallelism front, cloud.call just offloads the processing on their servers, but you'd have to call it multiple times to get any parallelism.
