I do have a question though. I'm a .Net guy who has only worked with self hosted systems and Azure and I've always wondered how the latency affects people who build serious system using the add-ons provided. I just can't imagine it performing well without knowing where exactly your RabbitMQ(CloudAMQP), MongoDB(MongoHQ), and Memcache type services are hosted. They could be sitting in the next rack to you or in a completely different part of the country (in theory).
