Long running (background) workers in CloudFoundry
Recently I went through VMWare webinar dedicated to their open-source PaaS called CloudFoundry. Very impressive but I couldn't figure out one thing. Their "competitors" like Heroku and Azure support the concept of background async workers in addition to sync web services/apps. Is there an equivalent in CloudFoundry?

Cloud Foundry recently (May 2012) added support for background workers and "standalone" apps. From their blog:
- Cloud Foundry Improves Support For Background Processing
- Running Resque Workers on Cloud Foundry
- Running Workers on Cloud Foundry with Spring
- Running Standalone Web Applications on Cloud Foundry

Currently there is not official support for workers. However, you can run a worker class application, but you do need to bind the http port that CF assigns.
CF will adopt support for non-web apps sometime in the future.
