Is there Instant Deployment for PHP ?

I was reading Why Instant Deployment Matters from heroku’s blog this morning , i believe it is the same reason why i give webbynode a try. I would prefer to just focus on development , in stead of wasting time to learn how to configure/tweak/fine tune it, this might be the same reason , i have try out slicehost but in end just put my account on pause first.

On a side note, there are Heroku for rails, Google App Engine for python , is there are similar service for PHP ?

Looking for Rails Hosting

One of my resolutions is to learn Ruby On Rails , thats why i did put some attention when i saw some rails host related news. It seem like lots of big host in the market is rails ready but after some research i find out that:

The-Big-Host is Rails ready, but its only “ready”, if you face any problem, they can’t really help you, unless they have someone into Rails
The-Big-Host are slow on upgrade, since the framework is new , we can expect the changes might be a lot, thats why we need hosting that can follow up the changes
Some of the site which recommend these The-Big-Host is more like affiliate link, if you sign up they earn the $, thats why some of the good host will never get up on these site.

Currently there are 2 host that i eyeing for sometime

Rails PlayGround – i still can recall it provide free Rails hosting when the Rails wave started , but now it seem like it grows and become one of the famous Rails hosting, heard quite some good review from different forum. Currently provide addtional 1G for Subversion and Trac hosting with any hosting plan. The only thing that i don’t really like its their forum seem not so active.
HostingRails – this might be another small company but it seem like they are good in rails hosting too. Some good review about their support and the tutorials on their sites seem quite useful for beginner, the forum that they are using is self build by rails. The only thing that discourage me is they have annual payment only, i normally go for monthly so that won’t tie down by any host. Anyway they did have free hosting plan too which allow you to try their server.

One of the key factor that this 2 web hosting attract me is they provide Mongrel with dedicated memory, i might give it a try on them recently.

I been heard a lot about ruby and ruby on rails , lots of interesting web application is develop under this framework and lots of discussion about ruby going to replace php or ruby going to replace java is flying around. althought so much thing i heard about ruby but until yesterday i just starting have some hands on experience.

Its all because of this try ruby , type in “help” to start the tutorials, after go through the tutorials, i found that this programming/scripting language is really interesting, simple, direct and english style , the next thing i give it a try is read the guide to ruby , althought certain part of the tutorials is like a story book, but still quite a good materials to learn ruby. after ruby then will be ruby on rails, Rolling with Ruby on Rails 1 and Part 2 , i m still halfway of these reading, but i already in love with it, for a all time php supporter for the first time i start thinking to switch ..
