In terms of Open Source and wanting access to more capabilities, Joyent's Accelerators are an excellent platform for Ruby, Python, PHP and Java apps. With hardware load balancing, Joyent blows Amazon out of the water when it comes to scalability and price. Just look what they did for LinkedIn's Bumper Sticker app for Facebook.
