BTW, Azure is a nice scaling solution but it slows initial development way down, it's a pain to debug, and it locks you into a single hosting provider. Not a good solution for me and I think it's crazy that Microsoft keeps pushing it as a platform for early stage startups.



Would you be able to elaborate on how it slows initial development way down (and is a pain to debug!)?

I've only played with it a little but the deployment story seemed quite nice.


Have you considered AppHarbor as a faster-turnaround alternative to Azure? https://appharbor.com/


Just some friendly advice, the excessive self promotion is doing you more harm than good


Yeah I'd been looking at AppHarbor vs Amazon/RackSpace/Ninefold. I think this excessive value-less self promotion just ruled out one for me.
