Heroku for RAILS, everything you ever wanted

It feels like sitting on top of the web with Heroku (www.heroku.com). Everything I ever wanted that would ease my pain of developing and deploying my RAILs app is all built in here.
After you get on to Heroku, all your nightmares of developing a RAIL application on a local box, choice of IDE for development, portability to the hosting server and the scary thoughts of failed deployment will all disappear.

Lets talk about a few features that got me so excited about Heroku:
-Your application is live on the internet from the moment you create it or import it from somewhere else.(off course you have the option to keep it completely private, share with a few you want to or go it publicly open to everyone)
-With full Ruby environment you will never have anything missing, every ruby you want to run will run on Heroku.
-An awesome, inbuilt development environment. You wont need anything else ever.
-Rails console, if you want it to do those console things that you would generally do when you are developing on your local box.
-Whole development stack is integrated, database server, app server cluster, load balancer, web server. Its all there.
-Gems and Plugins, no restrictions here, use the existing Gems and Plugins with a click or upload your's own.
-Amazon's EC2, your application will never be out of resources, power of Amazon's EC2 cloud is built in the base.
-and many more.......

visit www.heroku.com and start building your dream startup application. It's time to say goodbye to all the excuses you always had ;)
