:D DotCloud FTW, the point is it takes so long to get approved for an account.

I got an invite from dotcloud way faster than any of the other hosting services that're in beta.

Been developing on DotCloud for a month or two now, and minus a couple very minor hiccups it's been fantastic. Some things I'm really looking forward to though:

* Pre-install hooks in addition to their post-install ones (to, for example, move file x, push update, move it back)

* Some kind of admin panel with usage monitoring

* Pricing announcement (would help to plan for the future, since I plan on deploying with DotCloud too obviously)

* An API for accessing the DotCloud commands programmatically from a service, to do things like 'dotcloud alias' within an app

Actually, that's about it. It'll be nice to see some additional service types stabilize (particularly mongo & memcache), but other than the above it's really been an amazing platform to work with, and the functionality/simplicity balance is very well thought out.

Slightly OT

Is there an open source platform similar to DotCloud/Heroku? We really need something just like this for our private/internal use.

Or alternatively, does anyone license such a thing? I'm sure I could find the $ for the right product.

VMWare's Cloud Foundry is open source and most similar to Heroku/DotCloud.

pricing is my major concern and the only reason i'm not throwing sites onto dotcloud. i don't want to migrate stuff to dotcloud and then have to migrate it back again if pricing doesn't work for me.

Very cool. Thanks!
