If something like this could solve the problem of having to deal with redundancy and scaling every time you deploy a growing app, that would be worth using for those purposes alone. Nanobox deploys also require using it as a dev environment, but that's not so bad. Regarding setting up dev environments, from AlternativeTo.net: http://alternativeto.net/software/nanobox/reviews/ http://alternativeto.net/software/nanobox/reviews/ ---- "On a fresh laptop, our latest dev was up and running with Nanobox - repos cloned, DB imported, local running - in 7 minutes flat. Unheard of."
