Here's a non-exhaustive list of things we take care of for you:
- We curate a configuration of each service that "just works", and we maintain it over time for upgrades and security patches.
- We implement scaling and reliability best practices for each service: load-balancing, deployment across multiple datacenters, database replication and failover, hot deploy, strict change management, etc. We do this in production at a very large scale, so even for a very small application you benefit from the equivalent of a 20-people ops team serving tens of millions of uniques.
- We actively monitor and support everything we deploy, and are on call 24/7 to fix things when they break. This is important because 100% automation never happens in the real world. When things break we fix them, or help you fix them. We've been known to fix bugs in our customer's code, but don't tell anybody :)
Our job is to be a provider you can trust to run your stuff in the long run. That's what PaaS is supposed to be.
