Which other ones are there? I used to use PiCloud until they were bought out by dropbox and it atrophied. Shame, it was exactly what I wanted in a service.

http://hook.io is an open-source microservice platform.

We launched a month before Amazon Lambda, and have better features like full support for streaming HTTP.

But you don't have future price information; so it's a bit hard for an actual enterprise recommendation. This will cost X in the future, but it's free for now? Free for now is great for me as a tinkerer/developer; but I couldn't recommend it to a client?
We do offer paid accounts, and in fact already have a nice size group of paying customers.

Still in the process of establishing our service tiers, but our basic hosting plan starts at $5.00 per month.

Thanks, I'll have a look into that.
IronWorker from Iron.io is similar to Lambda.
ironworker is not per-request, it's like jobs that you schedule from a queue
Iron workers can be triggered by HTTP post webhook requests.
Pivotal Web Services (which is like BlueMix, Cloud Foundry based, and you can run your own as it is open source) http://run.pivotal.io
Cheers, being able to move on if I wanted is a definite benefit, thanks.

Google Cloud - Google Dataflow, Certain App Engine APIs

IBM Bluemix - IBM Workload Scheduler, RabbitMQ (this is weak, but similar functionality can be achieved)

Microsoft Azure - Apache Storm (generally available now)

Thanks for the list, I'd not looked into the google offerings for a while, they're actually much closer to what I'm after now.
