One of the guys on my team (our staff developer) and I went to an event this morning put on by EngineYard and a few of their partners this morning. The content was pretty informative, albeit a little on the salesy side. The content mostly focused on EngineYard's new cloud product and how easy it is to provision servers.
EngineYard's CTO said something which seemed rather poignant: The demo environment they were using during the presentation (which consisted of three Amazon EC2 instances: two app servers and a database server) should be sufficient to host about 99% of all rails applications on the internet at this point.
That's absolutely insane. The hard costs for the infrastructure of a web-based startup are crazy cheap.
