Put in my email for an invite, its going to come down to pricing.
My initial skepticism is that deploying PHP apps is easy, and Fantastico already gives us 1-click installs for stuff like Drupal and Wordpress. So you'll have to provide all the value on the sysadmin side.
However, we do have a couple of apps that require load balancing. I'm pretty happy with the dedicated server and load balancing prices we get from WiredTree already, but I'm always looking for new opportunities.
- whalesalad 16y agoThe benefit here is the git integration. I'd also assume that the control panel is going to be thousands of times easier to use and more efficient than Cpanel/Fantastico (which is pretty gross in my opinion) I also dropped my email address in out of interest, but I agree this is definitely something that isn't needed for PHP. The web that we have right now was built for PHP. 99.9999% of hosts support it out of the box, and offer one click installs. If you're running your own app, it's just as easy to get that running with PHP. What we really need is a Heroku for PYTHON! And Google App Engine is NOT the answer.

- dotBen 16y agoWhy is Google App Engine not the answer for Python? Is it "the man" element or is there something at a technical level you don't like or missing?
- mseebach 16y agoGoogle limits you to using their own key/value store instead of a regular, relational DB. This makes it hard to migrate to and from GAE, so there's a fair bit of vendor lock-in. A Heroku app can run anywhere else, out of the box.
- dotBen 16y agoAt Google I/O, Google said MySQL (or MySQL compatible version of their own storage, whatever) was coming soon to App Engine. (I don't work for Google btw, I'm just a bit of a fan of App Engine)
- blasdel 16y agoBigTable is not a motherfucking key/value store. It's a sorted tuplestore with built-in multidimensionality. Hypertable is a direct clone, HBase and Cassandra use the same style of API but have slightly different storage backends. Just because it isn't a SQL database doesn't mean it's non-relational or key/value.
- tlrobinson 16y agoIt's actually really easy to setup a git deployment platform for PHP on pretty much any shared host that offers SSH access.
