I will contact them and ask what it would take for them to support a new runtime/framework/database. I expect that the primary question will be business opportunity followed by support requirements. James On Jan 28, 2013, at 3:58 AM, Janko Mivšek <janko.mivsek@eranova.si> wrote:
What if we ask one of existing commercial PaaS providers to add Smalltalk among the languages of choice? This way we achieve one-click Smalltalk cloud apps the fastest way for sure.
Right now I'm looking at AppFog http://www.appfog.com. This is CloudFoundry based PaaS provider over the Amazon, Rackspace and Azure IaaS providers. It supports also "unusual" languages like Erlang and Go [1], so maybe they are open for Smalltalk too.
James, AppCloud is located in Portland, Gemstone as well, so you are neighbors :) Do you think it would be wise to make a contact with them to start discussing the possibilities?

While it is great that one can actually use Smalltalk in Cloud Foundry ... it does require a lot of steps to get it going. Having said that reckon it would be interresting to have an easy to use Pharo-as-a-Service. For persistence maybe rely on things like MongoLab or MongoHQ so you don't have to worry about that?
