That hit HN fast! I'm the founder of FathomDB (YC W08) & the primary author of PlatformLayer.

PlatformLayer lets you run anything as a service: MySQLaaS, RedisAAS, NginxAAS, DnsAAS etc. It's based on the code & know-how from running MySQL-as-a-service for FathomDB.

I'm planning a series of explanatory blog posts & better documentation. In the meantime, I'll hang out here to answer any questions.

How does this compare to dotcloud?

Looks very interesting, would love to see a guide or video walkthrough from the start (installation/configuration OpenStack) to building a simple service.

Thanks. That's definitely the next step - just a matter of finding the time.

NodeSocket looks cool - would you mind sharing a bit about how you built it? Would PlatformLayer have helped?
