10:17 < rick> we know some of the guys there
10:17 < rick> you'll only be able to deploy ruby stuff on it
10:19 < kevin> cwage: expensivo
10:19 < kevin> and li
10:19 < kevin> and limited in what libs / gems you can use
10:19 < kevin> basically they pre-sandbox by only allowing certain stacks
10:19 * cwage nods
10:19 < rick> it's pretty slick but it's never been on our radar due to the restrictions and price tradeoff
10:20 < rick> there are some really smart guys working there though
10:20 < kevin> but if it's simple sinatra / rails, and you don't want to deal with hosting or deployment... hard to beat
10:20 < kevin> but you'll pay for it
10:20 < kevin> also, they don't make any money
10:20 < rick> :-/
10:20 < kevin> so you might want to figure that into your long term strategy
10:20 < kevin> if you have one ;)
10:20 < kevin> neither does EY fwiw
10:21 < rick> well, EY would probably make money if they didn't keep doing VC shit
10:21 < kevin> afaik, Rails Machine is the only profitable Rails hosting company (besides OG)
10:21 < rick> then again, they'd just be another hosting company
10:21 < rick> true
