The original implementation of the uservice-ccutter for bootrstrapping cookiecutter-based projects didn't anticipate that project creation, notably Travis CI integration, would take longer than 30 seconds. Since it does, the microservice call times out and sqrbot returns an error to the user in Slack. The service also typically fails to complete the Travis integration. This has rendered it largely unusable for project and document creation.

I think the solution is to make the project provisioning asynchronous from the acknowledgement to the user on Slack. This ticket will modify uservice-ccutter to make that so. We'll use celery to implement a distributed asynchronous queue between the microservice api server and the worker processes. http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/index.html
