You also need to factor in redundant SAN, hardware load balancers, Master-> Slave mysql databases that do not use your slices resources. Clustered subversion, git and smtp, dns, none of which runs in your resource allocation. Databases are 4 core 4 gig ram for the master and for the slave. Offsite encrypted S3 backups every 4 hours.

Sure, you get a lot - which is why I said I'd be willing to pay a huge premium for it. But not that much!

By the way, do you work there? You joined News.YC specifically to post this, as well as saying something subjective like "Worldwide team of expert rails support staff." is a bit suspicious. If you do, that's great, I very much respect people who stand by their products. If you think I'm being unfair, call me on it. But please don't post anonymously. That's dishonest and disrespectful. If you don't, false alarm. :)

  I apologize, I should have said that this is my startup. I've been a long time reader of new.yc but never felt the urge to post. But I am pretty excited about what we are doing and so I was compelled to respond. My name is Ezra and my blog is http://brainspl.at http://brainspl.at if you have any interest in what I work on. The most exciting thing about what we are doing wasn't really covered in this article. The real news is about our Rubinius(http://rubini.us http://rubini.us) and Merb(http://merbivore.com http://merbivore.com) projects. We are trying to improve Ruby as a platform for everyone.

    No problem - thanks for being so quick to clarify! I didn't realise that Rubinius and Merb were Engine Yard projects. That's awesome. A lot of people have been bitching about stability and scalability with Rails, kudos for stepping up and actually doing something about it.
