That seems pretty recent, I am also not so sure it really works…

And this worries me:

He is using a older stack VM because of a 32/64 bit conflict.
It would be a shame to lose the use of a Cog based VM.
It is not that we need a 64 bit VM, but the 32 bit VM should be compilable 
against a 64 bit OS.
This is beyond my skills...

When I said that Heroku would be doable, I did not say it was the best way to 
go.
All this looks still pretty complicated for people without *nix skills.
Maybe it is worth the effort for what you get back, I just don't know.

I myself like Amazon AWS a lot, but that is not PaaS, but IaaS with lots of 
options.

Also note that there is no such thing as magic scalability...
