I agree, just because you have less friction with IT doesn't mean you suddenly write high quality code with no bugs.

Plug: if you are interested in Java deployment and do not anticipate to write bug-free code just yet, you might want to look at CloudBees: this is not just a production PaaS but it also provides a complete Continuous Integration SaaS based on Jenkins and many other services.

Glad to see more action around Java in the cloud!
