- JshWright 12y agoI prefer purple.com for my 'Is this thing on?' check.
- oddevan 12y agoEver since it was mentioned in the HomeStarRunner.com welcome speech, I've used http://www.something.com/ http://www.something.com/
- anom9999 12y agoNow someone needs to set up another Heroku app to find the question.

- tomphoolery 12y agowhere is the documentation
- croddin 12y agoWell, I don’t know what I expected.
- gulbrandr 12y ago404 for http://fortytwo-as-a-service.herokuapp.com/42 http://fortytwo-as-a-service.herokuapp.com/42, it's a shame.
- dsjoerg 12y ago404 as a service!
- bgdnpn 12y agogenius!
- mnemonicsloth 12y agoDon't get too excited. It's a crowded market.
- tylertreat 12y agoHow do you maintain data consistency at scale?
- callmeed 12y agois there a SOAP API?
- Xeoncross 12y agoYou can use HAProxy or the nginx echo module for this. You don't even need to bother creating an index file to be served. location / { echo "42"; } In fact, I wonder if I could use iptables to return a string... Oh, even better - There's probably a jQuery plugin for this!
- Syrup-tan 12y agoI'd like to see a Unikernel implementation, if we're going for lower level. An FPGA with a full-blown TCP/IP stack would be cute, too.
- drofmij 12y agoThe real question is how many lines of code? and who can use less lines :D
- fortytw2 12y agoI think this will usher in a new era of 42aaS startups - A breath of fresh air we all so desperately need in these dark times. Excellent idea!
- rbosinger 12y agoThis is the answer to everything!
- herbig 12y agoNot clever.
- stzup7 12y agodoes it run in a Docker container?
- adnanh 12y agoNeeds more Angular...
- grimmdude 12y agoVery clean HTML
- nav1 12y agoExcellent idea! I will definitely use this in my next project. Do you have a business plan yet?
- FLGMwt 12y agoAh, this reminds me of a small service I wrote when our load balancing was being finicky to help the business side know if tech was aware of a problem. http://doestechknowthesiteisdown.azurewebsites.net/ http://doestechknowthesiteisdown.azurewebsites.net/ http://doestechknowthesiteisdown.azurewebsites.net/api/Yes/But%20please%20stand%20over%20their%20shoulders%20and%20ask%20for%20an%20explanation%20for%20what%27s%20going%20on%20as%20we%20try%20to%20fix%20it http://doestechknowthesiteisdown.azurewebsites.net/api/Yes/B...
- abluecloud 12y agoUnhanded exception mate, http://doestechknowthesiteisdown.azurewebsites.net/api/Yes/< http://doestechknowthesiteisdown.azurewebsites.net/api/Yes/< Might want to hire a company to do a security audit on your whole infrastructure

- drmjo 12y agoLOOLL... This made my day

- HairlessCatCool 12y ago42
- billybofh 12y agoThe choice of font is terrible...
- chasing 12y ago$100M valuation by next Wednesday.
- _almosnow 12y ago"Of course its not overvalued, do you know what the target market for 42 is? Literally everyone in the world has used or will use the number 42 by age 6. Imagine just getting 1% of those people to pay us $1/year. 70 million dollars/year and virtually no OpEx. And we are just getting started, we have a few other numbers planned for."
- TeMPOraL 12y agoDo you plan to release it as open source in the event of getting acquihired? On a more serious note, if SaaS APIs are function calls, this is an equivalent of a constant. Let's build a cloud programming language! Anyone wants to write cons, car, cdr, cond, quote and lambda SaaSes?
- _almosnow 12y agohow would you "glue" everything together? seriously, something really cool could come out of this...
- towelguy 12y agoAs chained url encoded parameters? http://example.com/exec?http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fsum%3Fhttp%253A%252F%252Ffortytwo-as-a-service.herokuapp.com%252F%26http%253A%252F%252Ftwo-as-a-service.herokuapp.com%252F http://example.com/exec?http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fsum%3Fhtt...
- cocozaza 12y agoWebshell.io tried to use JavaScript as cloud programming language, transforming every API endpoint/API call into a JavaScript object. Then you could script APIs and SaaS using JavaScript. Check this article on why JavaScript is the glue for APIs http://apieconomist.com/blog/2013/6/26/api-days-are-here-again http://apieconomist.com/blog/2013/6/26/api-days-are-here-aga...
- tempVariable 12y agoI'm interested in seeing the price plan and cost of the 'Pro' account.
- abluecloud 12y agoAny chance of getting a writeup for the dev process?
- bgdnpn 12y agoSome webcasts and a series of O'Reilly books are coming.
- strictnein 12y agoHopefully a TedX Talk as well.
- bgdnpn 12y ago42 of them, actually
- mr_justin 12y agoHa! Reminds me of something I did a long time ago: http://whatis7times.thenumber6.com/ http://whatis7times.thenumber6.com/
- sudeep1 12y agoWhat is this actually. Can not get the thing. Get request and you get 42. what is the point.
- jorjordandan 12y ago42
- KevinEldon 12y agoVery cool MVP, but can this service support Big Data like 42,000,000,000,000?
- trampi 12y agoREST?
- informatimago 12y agoI hope this will be the last comment here.
- _almosnow 12y ago"42 comments", sorry I had to break that :(
- trias 12y agoI got an Application Error as the answer.
- bgdnpn 12y agomy karma is 42, now
- _paulc 12y agoIronically there were 42 comments when I opened this.
- toong 12y agoAnd yet you ruined it ?
- thomasjudge 12y agoImagine a beowulf cluster of these! (funny, no one talks about that anymore..)
- bgdnpn 12y agoFor the Pro plan, visit the pricing page: http://fortytwo-as-a-service.herokuapp.com/pricing http://fortytwo-as-a-service.herokuapp.com/pricing
- ta_75000 12y agoIt is unconscionable that a service like this is served over plain, unsecured HTTP. How do I know that the 42 i'm getting is genuine?
- xg15 12y agoWhile your API is well-done from a technical perspective, what I'm really impressed of is your client ecosystem. There are bindings for pretty much all relevant languages, even COBOL and bare x86 assembler. And most are even part of the language core, so you don't even need a library. That must have required some negotiation skills!
- hookey 12y agotext/html for this?
