Nice. I have not tried dotcloud since it first came out and the command line and docs were just not ready for prime time.

I have to say things are hugely improved since then and at least on par with Heroku and with much more fine grained control over costs. Great work!

Thank you. I hope you get a chance to check it out. It is FREE to use, and what ever comments you have good or bad, we would love to hear them.

Price is not an issue. Vendor lock-in is.

I would try out DotCloud if it were an open-source PAAS like OpenShift or CloudFoundry.

Would you say Heroku is big on the vendor lock in too? If you stay away from the ad-ons they are really mostly just running some code and maintaining a standard database unlike say Google App Engine. I don't see how moving to say EC2 or your own servers is really that much work on the grand scale of things and I have done a fair number of data center moves and server migrations etc.
