 <h1>Scalable form processing with scalable message queues</h1>
 <p>The idea is to submit simple HTML forms directly to a message queue, that is designed to scale dynamically.</p>
 <p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.iron.io/platform/ironmq/">IronMQ</a> offers such a messages queue and has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.iron.io/ironmq-v3-is-10x-faster-than-rabbitmq/">quite impressive performance rate of being able to process up to 18.000 messages per second.</a></p>
 <p>Since the HTML form is static, one can <a target="_blank" href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/website-hosting-custom-domain-walkthrough.html">host it easily on an Amazon S3 account</a>, or have a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cloudflare.com">CDN like CloudFlare ensure it is served properly.</a></p>
