Very interesting! Nice work guys. Just sent you an email about academic research use case.

You don't mention anything about RAM in your pricing - what are the restrictions? And what about I/O and storage?

We're planning to charge per core for usage. Each core will be a true physical core, with 5.5 ECU. The container will get 3.75GB of RAM and a slice of the host's bandwidth per core. We'll also have very inexpensive micro tier, and eventually some kind of long-lived services tier, as Tristan mentioned in another comment.

I forgot to mention storage. We're planning on about 1GB of disk per project. Because we live on AWS, we get quick access to all of Amazon's storage services as well.

any plans for more RAM options? something like the EC2 244GB?

Not at the moment. Right now, the biggest single dashboard is 60GB. You can launch as many dashboards as your plan allows if your application can be distributed, but I'm guessing that isn't the case for you.
