It doesn't actually run the job but could be used to trigger them.
I think the idea could work if you could write the tasks as snippets of JS, think IFTT/Zapier but with a code editor.
- sakai 12y agoYes! 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
- olegp 12y agoMight 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.

- RA_Fisher 12y agoI work for Zapier and I'm totally planning to do this for my R / iPython jobs! Ideally I can interface through email or some other convenient service / app. Would obviously love to have the feature inside Zapier, too, we'll see!
