Is this really just Rails, or any Rack-based application (such as a Ramaze site)?
This is Rails only for now. More Rack based frameworks are coming soon alongside node and others.

Re: Show HN: Build your own Heroku on your own servers
#42Do you have a better pricing page somewhere? $9 per server per month... what kind of server? Micro instance?
Also, is there any Redis support?
Re: Show HN: Build your own Heroku on your own servers
#43isn't OpenShift Origin better?
OpenShift is a great solution to build your PaaS. Cloud 66 is however provided to you as a service. So if you like PaaS because you don't want to manage or run an infrastructure then you probably wouldn't want to manage and run OpenShift (or CloudFoundry) either.

#44I like the notifications when signed in. Is that regular JS or are you using something like Parse?
Re: Show HN: Build your own Heroku on your own servers
#45Very impressive. Could you help with the pricing a bit more. The cost is $9 per server per month in addition to costs from the cloud provider with the first server free?
BTW your FAQ still lists $7 https://www.cloud66.com/help/faq

That's a valid point. Thank you. Will work on a better pricing page.
For the reference, any server: virtual / physical or any size. Since we don't sell the servers, we only charge for provisioning, deploying and configuring as well as the on-going management (scaling, monitoring, backups, add-ons) per server.
Redis is coming soon (we use it ourselves and deploy our stack with Cloud 66 - so really keen to get it working so we can deploy and managed our own stack fully automated with Cloud 66!)

#47How is this different from CloudFoundry? Which does this for more than rails apps?
CloudFoundry is great to build a PaaS on your own servers and want to manage it. However if you really don't want to manage and run an infrastructure then you would probably don't want to run a system like CloudFoundry!
Why!?

Re: Show HN: Build your own Heroku on your own servers
#491. What happens if I need a binary available on the server? (wkhtmltopdf)
2. Can I choose the linux distribution?
3. Can cron jobs be set up?
4. What about stuff like scout/monit etc ?
5. What about redis/memcaches/mysql/postgres?

#50Earlier quoted context omitted.
doesn't amazon elastic beanstalk solve the "heroku-ish deploy on EC2" problem?
Yes. Elastic Beanstalk is great for deploying your code to EC2. However Cloud 66 doesn't end at the end of deployment. It actively manages the app by monitoring the processes, making it extremely easy to add load balancers, scale web servers or background processes, add SSL certificates, schedule backups with one click and a lot more. It is also not limited to AWS and supports Linode, Joyent, Telefonica Cloud with Ra…
Actually attended a local user group presentation on elastic beanstalk last night.
Elastic Beanstalk not only handles auto scaling. You can set limits that enable it to launch a replacement server if your pages start responding slowly.
The new console lets you easily add SSL certificates and schedule backups. I was pleasantly surprised how much Amazon has added to it in the last few years.
