Congrats, I'm a big fan! Careful on the 100% uptime though

Admittedly, I think that something was lost in translation during the conversation. We are working with the writer to update that phrasing.

I figured that might have happened :)

I use their heroku addon. I had an issue on a Sunday evening and was not expecting it to be fixed until Monday. I went to watch a TV programme and come back 15 minutes later (ad break) to find that they had already fixed it! Congrats guys, you are awesome.

Congrats to MongoHQ. I often wonder why the hosted Mongo services aren't offering dedicated servers yet. It seems like an easy opportunity to provide service, automation, and monitoring value add at a high price point. Is the thinking that most customers who would opt for the dedicated instance would just run it themselves to save money?

MonogoHQ is already doing this, not yet at scale. We're using one of those systems right now and have been nothing but pleased with MongoHQ - we've had occasional technical issues, but their team seems to be learning fast from these.
