If I understand correctly your message, my buildbot master server and instances could be replaced by your service. Well, I'm interested. I'm building a SaaS application for customers in the health care industry. It's a Django project with about a dozen apps. Each app has its own test suite. I would be interested in the following : - ability to get some shiny output visualization, - running some web hooks when a test…

Web hooks when the build or tests fail would indeed be a great addition to the service.

I'm having a hard time understanding what role ShiningPanda would play in our deployment process. Is this a hosted Capistrano type service, but with testing? Or, is it more like Heroku but with EC2/GAE/etc? Something like "it's the [Heroku|or whatever] for Python" would be much easier to understand how to utilize your offering. Or, is there really no other comparable service? Linked: http://www.shiningpanda.com

This is great. My friend and I were thinking of building something simple for GitHub -> GAE continuous deployment, but this expanded feature set is really the right path i think.

I signed up and am hoping to hear more, shoot me an email, I'd love to be in the loop and give more feedback as you roll out.

What you had in mind sounds a lot like DryDrop in case you're interested : http://drydrop.binaryage.com

presumably you already know the business model. Do you intend to be a serious host? Do you understand the challenges of being "rock solid" (quoted from Heroku.com)? This is the type of business that I doubt few kids in a basement can put together--It seems that you need a real team, with real credentials and real funding. What do you think?

Couple this with a DHTML editor and automatic revision control (new revision on every save) and I would love it. DropBox has been great for hacking client-side apps across multiple machines, but for web apps it's kind of a chore.

You know, Google Docs + some sort of web-based VIM + CodePad.org would be the bees knees.

He said very clearly: it is a continuous integration server. I don't understand where your analogies with Heroku are coming from. Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration
