PivotDesk (www.pivotdesk.com)

Ruby on Rails, hosted on Heroku. PostgreSQL.

Queuing is handled via Redis/Resque, and we're using Pingdom and NewRelic for primary monitoring.

SendGrid powers our email, GitHub hosts our code, and we use Campfire + PivotalTracker for day to day coordination.

We use Haml for templating, and SCSS for styling. [edit, forgot JQuery]

S3 for image storage, we'll probably be moving the whole app to Amazon's cloud in the next few months as well.

We've also made a couple tradeoffs in terms of browser compatibility, including using some CSS3 animation features not fully supported by IE9 and under. We'll see if that works out for us long term.

All in all, a pretty standard setup for a Rails startup.
