Having had a quick browse it looks like Heroku for Django, which would be absolutely awesome!

Are you using EC2 behind the scenes, or something else?

You mention database support, but I couldn't see anything about specific vendors. Will there be support for spatial extensions? I'm specifically thinking about Postgres and PostGIS.

Looks like a great project though - I've signed myself up for a beta invite!

Thanks, we've been getting GREAT feedback and iterating rapidly.

Yes, we're using EC2 on the backend, and it's distributed and scalable. We currently give each app a MySQL database, but we've been getting a ton of requests for other database support, so it's something we're looking into. Unfortunately there are quite a few other requirements to plow through before we get to that particular feature.

Look for updates this week.
