Heroku does more than rails apps. This seems to only do rails?

You are absolutely right. We are trying to start by helping fellow Rails developers first, more frameworks are coming soon.

How are you planning to handle network security configurations on AWS? I.e. If I wanted to run an iptables config on my servers?

What's your plans for self-hosted realtime support (like Socket.io, which seems to be node-only)?

Thanks for your question.

1. node.js support is coming soon! 2. We're going to have at least one self-hosted real-time push solution in our app store (think Socket.io or Faye). 3. The whole reason we started Cloud 66 is to give developers more control over what traditional PaaS doesn't let you do. It's your server, you have full root shell access to it. If we don't do it (yet), you can always do it yourself!
