Set up public ray tracing service? #18

Promising approach: configure Amazon Fargate with Mitsuba set up in a container image. When a rendering request comes in, spin up 10s/100s/1000s of containers with Mitsuba running on each one as a server, then start a networked render and tear down the cluster when finished. Perhaps accept donations if it gets popular, and/or throttle requests based on IP address or something...

Idea for scaling: set up initial service manually, then ask for someone experienced with Terraform or similar to help set up a way so that others can easily deploy the same configuration into their own AWS account
