Have you tried Google or the AWS documentation? What you are asking for is the bare-bones most basic use case. They even have services setup to make this kind of thing easier, like the Simple Workflow Service, Messaging Service and Simple Que Service.

Comment Re:50% of us have an iPhone (Score 4, Interesting) 495

Did a lot of research on the architecture of iPhone before I was willing to buy it. I don't see any other architecture going as far to reduce battery life, or provide a secure environment. I would like that the iPhone allowed the user more control over apps though, like being able to restrict individual app's access to certain resources.

Until then, I'm ok with *taking* that power from the phone, through jailbreaking, but I'd rather that it was built in instead. Apple should allow those of us who are capable of making our own decisions about what software we run to do so.

and the way Google does this is by moving processing to the client but maintaining control of the APIs. Which raises the question, in my mind, exactly what value is Google providing that you can't get from existing open APIs and platforms? Seems like the only thing they are "providing" is an expectation in your clients that you support Chrome only, and an API that is guaranteed to break and need maintenance in the near future.
