Ben, this looks like a great tool - you're doing an awesome job, keep up the good work. Question for you: The benefits of using this as a private-Heroku-on-public cloud are obvious, but in the nicest way possible, why would/should I consider Codemason hosting over a large AWS tier provider? |

My big focus for Codemason is simplicity, so building hosting into Codemason ("Codemason Servers") was a way to simplify things even further - just click a button and a server is ready to run your app. In the future, I hope to take it even further and let people spin up "sandbox" versions of apps so they can test things out really quickly. Convenience and simplicity is probably the key draw there.
Just as a general comment on the entire space: It's very competitive and there are plenty of solid options but I feel like there's a couple of things that uniquely set Codemason apart:
- Being able to "cluster" servers from multiple cloud providers easily - Autoscaling capabilities on the cloud provider of your choice (e.g. DigitalOcean or Vultr) - A focus on simplifying things from development to production
As the product matures, I'm hoping the focus on simplicity will pay off in differentiating Codemason in an already competitive market
