Agreed, anyone can deploy PHP -- it's not rocket science. Scaling is what Orchestra is all about, but obviously you need to deploy before you can get to that point.

A note on pricing -- we're trying to find the right price point / service level offering, that the market will respond to. We've a "grandfathering" policy in place, which we've detailed at the bottom of our pricing page: https://orchestra.tenderapp.com/kb/about-orchestra/pricing-b...

That's great to hear. I understand that you guys just launched and you're still figuring things out.

I was just trying to understand the initial value proposition for someone like me (who builds and deploys PHP sites for a living), when the initial cost is 3x what I am used to, and there are additional limitations.

I wasn't able to find it, but do you list application resources anywhere? How much memory do the various applications have access to, how much disk space do I get, etc?

At this point I would probably still roll my own cloud server for prototyping and initial deployment, and look into your scaling service if/when the need arises.
