Been working with these guys for 6 months now watching them build the platform and helping them figure out how to scale it on DO, pretty nice tech, smart kids (and I mean kids!) :)

I've been using Fortheon as well for the past few months as part of their beta program within Novation Mobile and it's been awesome so far.

Doesn't dokku does this already? I mean, I've tried dokku and my experience was quite similar to heroku.

The best benefit of Fortheon is that all your servers traffic is run through your own system that you built, load balancers, etc. but it's super easy to configure.

This looks great. I host several things on http://dotcloud.com right now but this pricing is a fraction of the DC price. I would love to see integration with some CI tools like codeship.io and obviously the documentation needs to get done ASAP. Good luck to the team, I'll keep an eye on the project for sure.

I've helped the team out a bit - if you have any ideas with other tools they should integrate, email their support I'm sure they'd love to see how they can make it happen.

Sent! Hopefully they aren't drowning in emails right now...

There's a couple benefits to using this, including the option to integrate load balancing as well as the extensions (such as database servers) that are the cheapest you'll get anywhere unless you set them up yourself on EC2 or a VPS.

Have you seen AWS? Elastic Beanstalk and RDS are pretty affordable solutions that our startup is using to allow us to scale when we need to.

how does database access work? didn't see anything in the docs about it. Is there some amount of local space on the servers?

once you purchase a database, you get all of the credentials to connect to it externally or automatically once you tie an app

ah okay, but what's the pricing for that? https://www.fortheon.com/pricing looks like it's just for servers
