On November, 11th, Moncaì has been announced.

The post describes the product as "a platform as a service(PAAS) cloud solution for .NET/Mono web applications" which would allow to "deploy your web applications with ease by using Git or Mercurial by simply issuing a push command" à la Heroku.

Beside this, very little is known about the supporting infrastructure.

  • Manos may be involved (tweet)
  • Maybe CouchDB could also be part through Ottoman API
  • It looks like Redis will also be used (tweet)

What have you been able to gather about the choosen tools (messaging, storage, ...) to support the project ?

  • I think that would spoil a bit the tracking/gathering of leaked information, wouldn't it ? – nulltoken Dec 11 '10 at 17:51

    but it would at least gather some official information:) – Quamis Dec 11 '10 at 18:11
  • Well.. You're right :-) How about requesting some up-to-date information and edit your answer with the answers you'll be provided with ? – nulltoken Dec 14 '10 at 09:01
  • this post starts to look like the author is too lazy to actually gather the information he needs and keeps asking users to do the research for him... Personally i dont actually care about Moncai, as it seems to be a web framework .NET oriented and i prefer PHP or python for that. I asnwered this question as a simple suggestion... – Quamis Dec 14 '10 at 10:32

Some informations are in this podcast.

EDIT: major highlights from podcast:

  • deployment of ASP.NET (MVC) applications a lot easier
  • very close to what Heroku does, but for ASP.NET
  • hosted git or mercurial server for deployment
  • custom cloud infrastructure based on posix systems and mono
  • option of picking the runtime (mono 2.6 LTS for .NET 3.5 or mono 2.8 for .NET 4.0)
  • private beta - testing moncai with ~ 2k people
  • fractional computing and billing
  • free option for hobbyist and developers with low traffic
  • sandboxed security - each user have separate process for his stuff
  • you don't have to worry about load or scale
  • add-ons for various stuff (batch jobs, ssl, ...)
  • plans for ssh to customize the VPSs
  • you will be able to choose between various frameworks like ASP.NET (MVC), manos, ...
