Does anyone know if this will support web sockets? Major issue (for me) in regards to using heroku is the lack of web sockets.

Given that this doesn't support ELBs yet and you'll need to roll your own load balancer with HAProxy, there's nothing stopping websockets from working.

dotCloud is a PaaS which supports websockets: http://docs.dotcloud.com/0.9/guides/websockets/

The implementation is open-source, too: http://github.com/dotcloud/hipache

Disclaimer: I work at dotCloud

if you customize an nginx layer - new nginx supports web sockets... idk if this answers your question but look: http://nginx.com/news/nginx-websockets.html
