Re: [Haskell-cafe] any cloud computing services for running Haskell?

The performance might not be what you're looking for (there are some more performant configurations but they might not be cost effective), but it's pretty easy to get a stack project running on Heroku - this script took ~3 minutes (dominated by installing GHC on the first push) to get a simple worker running in the cloud: https://gist.github.com/mfine/b3dd21cfd03d1775084780f955cdc784#gistcomment-2...

I'm thinking of using cloud computing services for running my CPU-intensive parallel Haskell code, in order to get results faster. Instead of buying a faster computer, I would take advantage of existing services.

Note that my budget is small, so I need something that doesn't have a large minimum charge. I'm thinking $10 - 30 per month.

Are there any cloud services like that that run Haskell? D
