Its been a while, at one point EngineYard was pretty awesome and really moved a lot forward in the RoR community. They've lost so many great people (and theres still some great people there), they've been moving more and more away from their developer roots, and in a series of baffling moves have been pushing away boutique customers in favor of highly commoditized cheap hosting. But PHP, really? I guess this is really the nail in the coffin for EY as a serious developer platform.
Huge congrats to the guys! Delighted for them, Literally couldn't happen to nicer guys or a better team.
Congrats to Eamon, Helgi, David and Noah at Orchestra (and EngineYard on getting a smart crew and good company) - interesting times ahead!
Wow, looks like the news brought down the site? http://orchestra.io/
They're back now. Hearthy congratulations to the lads at Echo Libre here in Dublin by the way! http://echolibre.com/
Seems fine here.
Welcome aboard, Orchestra folk!
good news for the irish startup scene
I just found out that NIC.IO (a common domain registar for .io domains) stores my password in plain text. Whoopee. I wonder how many startups use it.
Congrats to Orchestra guys though, you seem to be talented.
