How do you recommend that people estimate running costs for an app hosted with dotCloud before they've launched an app with you?
I can see that your new dashboard would be useful for scaling up and down once an app's running on dotCloud, but I'd prefer to be able to estimate running costs before committing to your platform.
Do you have any guidelines to estimate RAM/instance requirements? I'm new to PaaS-style hosting, so forgive me if this is simple stuff, but if I was running a basic Sinatra app with MongoDB and static file hosting, for example, how could I gauge my approximate running costs under dotCloud?
