- grout 15y agoI would like one (1) invite. Or maybe two. Please?
- shykes 15y agoHow about 50? :) http://www.dotcloud.com/account/create http://www.dotcloud.com/account/create A5FxUv 0HJldL oM0PPT l6CWNG 4iP5YR ggCJ1k mSMOaV h1JvT7 rh4aoT BkeCkR 2xYfBf uyR3d4 g2ZBP9 hJ0JKc OWx5qu cmf9z9 bAlvX4 W6yt3q Wi42Ft XgFmfP nnvVxf kfHuMh kJjg4Q eXV7Wn Djxozb chSFmG gt3nQb TNNupl oB2JNm OgDsHW thEAaq oZx5mv I1pMjR nWeKhz vjd19G YiNr1O wG2Uqm XBQp3P wNZJAE yRfnON 8tiohx AIg6BH W2IU3h xmfjZ5 E5Ttq5 GWlpMK x8lUjd Vfbjxi MEDa7H HnytsU
- grout 15y agoJoy!
- mmaunder 15y agoTried the code and it didn't work. Can you mail me one at mmaunder at gmail? Tnx.
- yahelc 15y agoThat's 50 separate codes, not 1 long code. Try one at random.
- shykes 15y agoSorry about that - I edited the list for clarity. http://xkcd.com/208/ http://xkcd.com/208/
- sireat 15y agoAfter frustrating 10 minutes of entering codes, I realized that I started 4 hours too late. That list must have been exhausted unbelievably fast, I don't think even Linode VPS giveaway a few months back was that successful.
- agentultra 15y agoGreat news for the Perl community. Congrats! And thanks as well to dotcloud for making it happen. :)
- daxelrod 15y agoWhat a fantastic idea! I would love to know more about the discussions you had with miyagawa, and how the design for this evolved. Anything this elegant must have taken a ton of iterations. Oh, and may I have an invite, please?
- mmaunder 15y agoNice one guys. Our company uses mostly Perl for our server side code. We'll keep you in mind as a provider.
- bbbbbbbbb 15y agohuh? - No Apache???? - why force a rather devish level PSGI module on all web applications???? oh, yeah, you've been advised by the guy who made the port... i've been using CGI::Fast under Apache for years and it has been working just PERFECTLY fine. Do not see the need to change especially when the PSGI doc is so badly written... At least the doc states that people who supports mod_perl/CGI::Fast will not see much benefit of switching to PSGI... - what is the Perl version?
- davecardwell 15y ago5.12: https://gist.github.com/945834 https://gist.github.com/945834
- bbbbbbbbb 15y agothank you! recent version, that's a plus.
- shykes 15y agoWe expect our choice of stack to be transparent for all developers. If it turns out it's the wrong choice, we'll either switch to Apache, or at least support both. So far all alpha testers seemed very happy :)
- bbbbbbbbb 15y agoWell, I got the invitation and while playing around with nodejs, I was really looking forward for Perl support but this is absolutely not the environment I want to work on (wanted to use an in-house framework, not the ones listed and see if DotCloud could be of use for our clients). To tell the truth, this could be a good occasion to try to make the in-house app works in such environment but 1- don't see any real benefit 2- don't want to decipher the doc 3- no time (will have to work extra hours) you should definitely support both environment and not base your choice on the sole feedback of one person (you know... TMTOWTDI)

- davecardwell 15y agoAre there plans for a “Perl worker” component?
- shykes 15y agoAbsolutely. Coming soon!
- g123g 15y agoThis entry in their FAQ after the April 21st outage brought a chuckle- Where is DotCloud hosted? DotCloud runs on Amazon EC2. More specifically, we run on the us-east-1 region, across multiple availability zones.
- shykes 15y agoTell us about it. Expect accelerated plans for multi-region deployments, less reliance on EBS, and eventually support for different infrastructure providers.
- g123g 15y agoCool. I have snagged one of the invite codes. Look forward to learning more about these features when you are done.
- neuroelectronic 15y agoLOOOL
- poisonbit 15y agoCodes exhausted... anyway nice to read this. DotCloud++ Miyagawa++ Perl++ Good luck !
- questorian 15y agoWe are a Perl shop and this is good new for us - we need PSGI and multiple databases - This _could_ be the step we are looking for to offload our web stack...it is taking too much time to manage all that, rather than getting on with coding!
- kengat 15y agothis looks really cool. please send an invite code my way and i'll kick the tires. thanks in advance.
- bbbbbbbbb 15y agoit seems I am not the only to not get the point of PSGI: http://www.modernperlbooks.com/mt/2011/03/why-psgiplack-matters-testing.html#comment-794 http://www.modernperlbooks.com/mt/2011/03/why-psgiplack-matt... It resumes quite well my opinion and concern regarding the doc.
