I mentioned Heroku for two reasons. First, they are the pioneers of public PaaSes. Second, several Cloud Foundry buildpacks are extensions of Heroku's buildpacks.

I think that the nice thing about something like CF is that a whole range of problems just goes away. On the other hand, as Weinberg observed, when you solve the worst problem, the second worst problem gets a promotion :)

Cloud Foundry doesn't get much buzz on HN. But I'm a one-eyed bigoted fan, so I mention it whenever I can. I'm actually a Pivotal Labs employee, my main work is agile consulting. But I've seen enough gigantoglobomegacorps who are choking on their own impossibly heavyweight deployment/ops mechanisms that I am a bit of a bore about talking up Cloud Foundry.

It definitely sounds awesome. We've got a pretty simple deployment system at the moment and so it's a solved problem for us, but when it starts to breakdown we'll definitely take a look at CF.

No worries.

Sorry for being snooty up above. When you work hard on a product it's easy to become emotionally invested.

Know that feeling :)
