Really interesting project. Couple of things: 1. Your Python library (easydbio) doesn't have the correct requirements listed. It depends on 'requests' being installed, add this…
orf on HNThis is really elegant. One note is that the python repl.it fails on an import error upon just hitting 'run', but it does work locally as expected. Edit: Was able to get it…

Ephemeral VM service

I love this. I would also love an EasyVM.
breck on HNYes. Use cases are numerous. One would be if I want to fork someone’s GitHub to make a pull request without setting up a dev environment. I wish all GitHub projects had a “launch…

What database and consistency model sits behind it?
From 2 comments
This is neat. What's the actual database behind this? What kind of data model/consistency/isolation does it offer?
northstar702 on HNwhat's running behind this? I mean the actual DB. Couch?

Does the database or only the data get removed after 24 hours?
From 1 comment

jjice on HNSQLite is so awesome. I love how python has a library built-in for it. That SQLite plus SQLAlchemy makes hackathon code so easy to port to another RDBMS after finishing the…
