Zapier CTO/co-founder here. This is something we've been cooking up for a while and today I spend a ton of time writing one-off code snippets in Zapier instead of deploying it to AWS/Heroku/etc. Some of the things I do:
* Code review for Github PRs to a daily leaderboard Slack bot
* Support ticket statistics ETL to Google Sheets
* Spyfall social game Slack bot/automated game moderator
* Replaced like a dozen random crontabs
Equally cool is every run is logged to our task history just like any other workflow.
Behind the scenes we're using AWS Lambda (which we love) and I'm happy to answer any questions/field complaints/borgify suggestions. :-)

Next we just need to get zapier code to offload long running lambda tasks to aws container service... :D
