I think it's about time to start learning how to properly deploy it, but I'm not sure where to start.I have been looking at EC2, S3, Heroku, Rackspace and some others, but can't piece together what I'd need.Let's say, for the sake of learning, this app has 50,000 daily users - where could I go to learn a...

I'd consider something like that, and probably wouldn't be scared away from the process of just buying the book.
