Personally I'd like to see one of these PaaSs support Tornado. I think DotCloud has been promising it for a while...

The nice thing about Open Source PaaS is that you can scratch your own itches, add a Tornado pull request and pretty soon it could be running on AppFog.com or CloudFoundry.com

ActiveState's Stackato already has Tornado support (we have a demo of Tornado Chat with MongoDB), amongst other features that are not yet in Cloud Foundry (Perl, run and db migration, ...). More about those at http://www.activestate.com/blog/2011/08/python-cloud-foundry....

Good news! You can now scratch your own itch on dotCloud.
We've added support for custom builds, which means you can run Tornado, Thin and any other asynchronous web server you want.
We're planning a blog post about it the coming days.

Except if you scratch your itch on dotCloud, you can't run it on your own laptop like you can with Cloud Foundry Micro or on other services that might have a better interface like AppFog. That's the problem with contributing to a closed source project.

This is why I love HN. Thanks!
Re: Cloud Foundry Adds PHP and Python
#10I'm a little fuzzy on the exact story of cloudfoundry.
It may just be lack of business level pricing, but I find the options they present confusing, not illuminating.
I have clients who are scared off of possible lock in with stuff like GAE, but would love something that seems quite close to a cloud foundry based backend, I'm just not 100% on what they do provide, and how they make their money.
