We do run the databases on EC2. All data is backed up to S3. > Further, can you discuss how the database side of things scales? At the moment, we're not doing any vertical scaling of the database. Once we've got a few apps that are using a substantial portion of the total capacity of an 8-core instance, we'll be starting to tackle this problem. Some of the techniques we'll be considering when that time comes: memcaching the reads, read-only slaves via Slony, and the automatic partitioning features built into Postgres 8.3.
