Btw, if people want to play with Django+MongoDB, there is this:

https://github.com/jpetazzo/django-and-mongodb-on-dotcloud

Clone the repo. Push to dotCloud. Done. You just deployed a MongoDB server and a pristine Django configured to use it :-)

Note to PaaS providers: Getting this type of "skeleton" on GitHub for each of the most common 10 or 20 deployment stacks would be fantastic for getting me to default to PaaS deployment.

As it stands right now I'll build my own little local Sinatra or Flask or Django app and then slowly integrate it with my own database and then flail about with VPS-hosted Apache or Nginx. I'd really love to be able to start from a nice easy deployment foundation like one of these, but retrofitting it onto an existing VPS-based solution is less fun than it oughta be.

Check out http://github.com/dotcloud , there are quite a few of these skeletons and if you request one we'll happily add it!
