Very cool - there is Convox who does this as well.

one question - there have been a few open source PAAS out there for a while. But no real competitor to Heroku till now. What's missing ?

You mean like Scalingo http://scalingo.com ? ;-)

interesting.. serious advice: get a SAAS marketing expert. Pay whatever they want. Your discoverability is really bad.

Thanks for the advice. We'll do that.

Cloud Foundry predates pretty much everything else. It was decided in the early days to support the full buildpack lifecycle as defined by Heroku, to the point that a lot of Heroku buildpacks run on Cloud Foundry with no or minimal changes.

Disclosure: I work on buildpacks for Pivotal, the majority donor of engineering to Cloud Foundry.
