Yeah but none of this is really advertised on the main site. The only thing mentioned in the docs thats different from just ./mongod is the easy scaling: http://docs.dotcloud.com/0.9/services/mongodb/

As I said I totally understand the whole sysadminless thing, and I definitely see it's usefulness. However, none of what you're saying is even advertised/mentioned by them (at least based on my quick search)...

From the dotcloud.com home page:

We keep your app running 24/7 with built-in load-balancing, monitoring and failover. Scale in seconds to handle surges in traffic - and only pay for what you need.

It is admittedly below the fold, and they should probably replace its position on the page with their customer success stories, but they at least do try to tell you what they do.
