Re: SWI-Prolog on dotCloud

Yes, dotCloud is a good fit for a TCP server.  I haven't done it myself,
but it's a common use case there.  The docs are at
http://docs.dotcloud.com/guides/build-file/#ports-custom-ports  They don't
yet support TCP load balancing out of the box (like they do for HTTP), but
they have examples using HAProxy for that purpose.

Depending on your application, scaling up computation can be as easy as
"dotcloud scale foo=4" Now you have 4 server instances.
