I think this targets a real painful need, managing an EC2 app on your own is not lacking frustrations, simple things like creating a rolling backup of instances needs complex shell scripts and cron jobs or 3rd party apps like
http://www.skeddly.com, you need to be fluent in linux administration if you want to do simple things like increase your boot storage space (actually need to remove it, create a new volume from it, reattach it). Most developers will figure it out, but I would rather focus on development rather than infrastructure if I don't have to.
EC2 has an auto pilot option, but if I remember correctly it's more targeted for multiple instances, no auto scaling up or down only scaling out.
Developers need to focus on developing, it's always nice to have a developer who can also do the ops part, but I think no one will miss doing the plumbing work if they don't have to.
p.s. I would add a tweet button, this is tweet worthy and you should make it easier on people to both follow and spread the word
Few minor glitches:
- SSL mixed content warning on /how and /about
- / is different than /home (pricing link)
- logo redirects to /home instead of /
