Right now we handle all the packaging, but over the next few months you will be able to provide your own apps on top of the platform. We want to make this process as painless as possible :)

Firefox and LibreOffice are desktop apps. Apache is a server. We are talking about server apps, in particular web applications. Anybody who has had to install a non-trivial Rails application like Gitlab, Discourse or Redmine, knows that pai

It really depends on the applications. WordPress, Drupal, etc. have built-in mechanisms for handling application upgrades and we configure them so it works out of the box. We have "native stack" deployments that hook up to the underlying Ap

Agreed Heroku is not necessarily the ultimate PHP platform :) We plan on bundling support for other third-party platforms, in particular dotCloud and Beanstalk as well as add support for our Java, NodeJS, Django, etc. stacks. We want to pro
