A couple friends and I just spent the past 48 hours building an app that recreates a lot of this functionality. Some key things to note with this is that you're stuck with RDS, and locked in to amazons platform choice.

If anyone is interested in the work we did this weekend, https://github.com/jawnb/badatcomputers

Can't you use RDS like any MySQL database? And since you're writing a standard WSGI app, it seems like there is very little lock-in. This seems to basically automate the provisioning of EC2 instances for the web app and the DB. and since you just have a standard app, you're free to move it around as needed.

Or is there something that I'm missing with the Elastic Beanstalk? (I've only used raw EC2)
