#92If you're interested in checking out how to get mongo running on openshift, here are some things to get started
- Good list of resources: https://openshift.redhat.com/community/developers/mongodb
- Lots of goodies in here: https://github.com/openshift
- Part 1 of a 4-part series on building mobile apps with titanium, mongodb and openshift: http://blog.10gen.com/post/23089705899/mobilize-your-mongodb...

Dotcloud does it for me. I'd love to support RedHat though.
Never heard of Dotcloud before, anyone have experience hosting a decent size app with them?
Wunderkit (http://wunderkit.com) runs on dotCloud. So doe Punchtab (http://punchtab.com). Both serve many millions of monthly uniques.

The problem with free stuff is the lack of support. If I mess something up and my site crashes after hitting the HN front page, I want someone to throw money at until things work again.
I want someone to throw money at until things work In that case, although you can certainly pay for support (as others have pointed out)—but you're probably not the intended audience for this service.
Actually you are the intended audience. We are keenly aware that people want this capability. The free tier won't have this built in, but the other tiers will.

This is not a bait and switch. We are trying to make sure we get the pricing right. That said - we plan to make the current free tier free even when we announce pricing. We are also committed to being competitive in terms of pricing. We will be announcing pricing this summer.
But you've "announced" your cloud platform, yet I can't justify any time learning or becoming familiar with it since there is no idea on price - it's frustrating.
Does the other cloud providers seem reasonable to you? If so then you might want to spend time investigating. As a dev evangelist for OpenShift, I can say it doesn't take much time to get a simple app up and running. Come by #openshift on freenode and we can help you if you get stuck
Re: OpenShift by Red Hat
#96Yeah I'm excited about it and it's getting me to finally take the step from traditional web app development (vps, php, etc.) to more easily scalable app development - and it's all open source, no vendor lock-in, and hopefully affordable pricing in the future.
Look forward to seeing more tutorials & code samples online and on their site. For example has anyone tried out meteor (w/node.js & mongodb) with it yet. Also, hopefully it will integrate with some of the browser-based IDEs out there like cloud9.

Absolutely.
Honestly the buzz I want to hear is "you guys suck, here's 10 ways you could be better" before we start taking money, at which point it's "you guys suck and you're taking our money, give me my money back". I'm trying to build the service I would use, and the intent as mhicks said up above is to always have a free tier so that folks get a chance to try it out before they commit.
Best of luck with this project. Its encouraging to see a large organization that is so committed to open source taking a stake in PaaS!

No they don't - that's my point (Only AppEngine did before they increased their prices). Because of the high cost of available clouds I don't use any clouds and just run my own dedicated server.

#99the rubyist in me is happy to report that openshift is written largely in ruby. so all ruby programmers should try running openshift in their own machinea
