/* A quick reminder on how to use Promises with Node and Express in order to run potentially
 * time-consuming jobs asynchronously (assuming the jobs are able to run in the background thanks to
 * libuv and actually return Promises).
 *
 * Start the server, navigate to /startjob, then refresh a few times, the job should be in progress.
 * You can navigate elsewhere in the "app" in other browser tabs in the meanwhile (/). After about
 * 20s, you should get a result by refreshing the tab where you originally submitted the job.
 *
 * I hope this pattern will be useful e.g. for processing images with the `sharp` library (see
 * <http://sharp.dimens.io>).

I wrote this answer on stackexchange, here: https://stackoverflow.com/posts/12597919/

It was wrongly deleted for containing "proprietary information" years later. I think that's bullshit so I am posting it here. Come at me.

The Question

Amazon is a SOA system with 100s of services (or so says Amazon Chief Technology Officer Werner Vogels). How do they handle build and release?
