I can see EngineYard opening a bottle to celebrate as well, $212M in 'mostly stock' would be landing a big one, to be landing it in cash is very good indeed.

Congratulations to everybody, especially to the people that brokered the deal on Herokus side, very impressive.

You're saying this establishes the high value of EngineYard, since it is similar to Heroku?

Similarity should establish the P/E ratio.

Not necessarily. The businesses have been on very different trajectories.

I can see Linode opening a bottle to celebrate too :)

Are they related or linked to this deal?

I'm guessing dawson meant that now that Heroku has been acquired by Big Company it will start to suck and so people will be looking for new hosting options.

Not saying that's what I think, but that's my interpretation of the comment.
