Comment on Seeking beta testers for Rails & Node.js cloud hosting; free during beta

Comments

I do have a rails app that I just deployed to Heroku, but of course with the acquisition, I am open to alternatives :)

The landing page is incredibly vague though, so I'm curious as to what you offer (besides Node.js) that Heroku does not. Things that are important to me:

-amazon s3 integration -database push/pull (specifically mysql) -custom domain routing -full-text search integration (akin to heroku's web solr server add-on) -easy, safe collaboration (akin to sharing projects through the heroku console)

I requested access regardless, and I can certainly try it to see if it works and provide feedback on the migration process.

Heroku has had experimental Node.js support for awhile[1], but it's still just that, experimental[2].
