* Utilize the best parts of the cloud, leave expensive value added services behind. * Host anywhere in the world, close to your users. * Batteries included: backups, logging, monitoring, auto-scaling, containerization, databases. * Simple and user friendly.
The journey was tough. It took me round about 3 years to get everything just right. This goes against the conventional wisdom of getting something simple out quick. With a hosting platform however, in my mind, reliability, stability and certain maturity are a must have from the start.
I definitely need to work on the presentation, it's barely covering the basics. But you have to start somewhere :-)
I'd love to hear some critique from the community. Thanks!

Also, this looks like it is primarily aimed at new businesses who want to run ultra-cheap. How do you plan on keeping customers as they scale and mature?

I'm only utilizing EC2 instances, storage and S3. Everything like databases, load balancers, NAT, even image storage is my own architecture and I'm not utilizing the value added services AWS offers for this and most would default to.

I'll be adding features like DB replication and failover and multi AZ deployments down the line. But you're right, I'm focusing on small to medium size customers that want to run cheap, but still have all the convenience of a platform like Heroku for example.
