Hi Alpha,
I wasn't so much interested in CDN, as I was in seamless scaling of an 
app from small to large without deployment hassles.  It's about 
deploying a social networking site that can just grow as the number of 
daily visitors grows without learning anything about the wonderful world 
of scaling Rails apps.  If and when the app catches on, I want to just 
pay a little more money to "throw some more iron at it".

Sure, I could become an expert on Rails scaling and deployment, but I 
don't have any interest or time for that.  Hence my interest in 
something "easy" and "cheap", that "just works".

Some googling just uncovered "Heroku", which looks promising.  Anything 
else out there that is similar?

thanks,
jp
