They aren't? I haven't tried a deployment, but was hoping/assuming they'd upload a shrinkwrap along with everything else and that it would drive the install as per usual.

I think their angle is to lower barriers to entry close to zero for cloud deployments, and thus drain a shallow ocean. "Shallow" in the sense that there are devs who are interested, but maybe not interested enough to buy into terminology like "dynos" or "cartridges" or "lambdas". "Ocean" in the sense that there are (supposedly) quite a few of these people.

I’m potentially one of those people, at least for personal projects and such. But I also need to understand what the hell I’m getting into before I make the leap.

I haven’t kept my personal site up with no linkrot for the past 10 years by making technology choices on a whim, you know?
