Canonical provide commercial support for Ubuntu, don't they? For "$100k of investment on sysadmin services/infrastructure alone", did they ask Canonical for support?
What??? How is this even remotely possible? I call BS. It's either a smoke screen for some other issue, or their app was built back asswards. Either way, this post and the circumstances are indicative that Amy and/or the Charm leadership has no idea what they are doing. And they were not even launched? Beta or something? The comment about opening to the general public implies that they weren't getting that much usage…
Reading this must make founders striving to get investments furious..
I'd love to see an Ask HN with _proper_ technical details. Who knows, maybe they'll get better ways to solve this rather than close shop.

Who gave these guys & gals $100k? Reading this must make founders striving to get investments furious..

1) Bought a ton of Heroku dynos with every single addon enabled. That would have given them any version of Rails they wanted with Ruby 1.8, 1.9 or even 2.0; Postgres, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, two different kinds of Memcache and three different kinds of asynchronous processing.
2) Gotten fully managed servers at Rackspace with pro support for pretty much any setup they wanted.
How is this even possible? The same application happens to hit bugs in the Ubuntu kernel and Rails core that haven't been fixed all the way to 3.2.9? And they have 100k to spend but couldn't be bothered to try different kernels and distros? Really? Have they seen the AMI launch screen on EC2?
For a 100k, they could have 1) Bought a ton of Heroku dynos with every single addon enabled.

If rails causes a kernel panic then this is really a bug in the kernel. No user land app should ever do this. Why not try to scale on *BSD or Windows all of whom have different kernel and scale just fine? $100,000 and no one said "hey what about running it on "?
This is normal for Ubuntu kernels from experience. They are shitty. Various server releases have given us hell. They're fudging them somehow. We moved to debian after numerous problems and have had no issues since.
