Here are the announcements on dotCloud's blog.

I wonder what info-structure changes had to be done to support WebSockets. Are they using experimental nginx support? Something else?

If you look at this page, towards the bottom

It says the following: "the old load balancers are based on Nginx, while the new ones are based on Node.js"

What are the limits to the vertical scaling? Can I, for example:

  dotcloud scale MYAPP db:memory=144G

How much would such a thing cost, if possible?

The max you can scale is 64GB, However scaling above 4GB must be explicitly enabled for your account, so you need to contact them.
