18 now. ;-)

I'm dying to know more information on the company too. Would be cool to have more blogs posts about the architecture behind Heroku, employees, etc. You guys just dont have to blog about Heroku related stuff :)

i see. i have seen james giving some advices in some YC dinners(summer 09). now, i know that heroku is a 18 people company. everything just makes sense after this.

but, i still wonder how heroku works as a startup from a more engineer perspective, for example, how to get things moving as fast as possible. maybe an engineering related blog like what twitter or facebook have might help.

offtopic: when heroku is going to launch in other regions especially Amazon EC2 just launched in Singapore?

I'd love to have more visibility into the system itself, although I think you guys have something like that planned already?
