Yeah I also like it quite a bit, and I am grateful for these servers
as well. It's just that they have been down quite often lately. For
$240 a month you get one build queue for an unlimited number of
projects, but indeed, I don't know the performance. Just wanted to
bring it up in case there is any interest. At least with amazon I
think you can run all tests in parallel as it can just fire up more
VMs.
