Awesome work guys, congratulations!

Anyone who wants to leverage MongoDB without the massive headache of learning all the intricacies yourself (in addition to actually running and developing your startup) should check them out, we've been using them for a long time for all of our player data like leaderboards and user created levels, can't recommend them enough.

Off topic, but I some how knew I'd find a comment from you here. It sounds like you're still happy with their service. That's good to hear. :)

Yup, still loving them. The gigabytes keep coming in too, our main database there is ~20 gig now.

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?
