[jdev] Announcing Fanout.io, the versatile push service

[Justin Karneges]

Hi folks,

I want to let you know about my new project, Fanout.io. I've been working on 
it since last October, but it is now ready for real use.

Basically it's a CDN service for outbound XMPP or HTTP traffic. For example, 
suppose you're building an XMPP service that may have a lot of instantaneous 
outbound traffic (e.g. a pubsub service with many subscribers). Instead of 
trying to send a thousand stanzas yourself from a single server, you send a 
single stanza to Fanout, and it will delegate the transmission to a set of 
worker servers that each handle a slice of the deliveries.

It's also got some really good HTTP stuff, for those that need it, like 
webhooks and long polling. Your one stop shop for scaling push.

Here's the full announcement:

I'm very interested in feedback. :)

Thanks,
Justin
