MongoHQ to Host with Engine Yard Written By: Jason McCay January 9th, 2010

We are excited to announce that as we approach the end of our beta phase, we have moved MongoHQ to the Engine Yard Cloud. Having already had great success with Engine Yard in the past, the opportunity to partner with this amazing team was welcome and exciting!

Given considerable experience managing (and worrying about) our own servers and hosting arrangements in the past, the Engine Yard Cloud has been a breath of fresh air. From worry-free uptime to painless deployment to easy of scaling to monitoring, Engine Yard really does it all. All this equates to CommonThread being able to provide a reliable product that is speedy and responsive…and that makes happy customers all around.

The response for MongoHQ during the beta release has been (literally) overwhelming. The CommonThread team is planning for 2010 to be a banner year for MongoHQ and with our cloud infrastructure in place, our commitment to expanding our services on the Amazon EC2 platform and with the Engine Yard team behind us, we are confident that our growth will be stable and sure-footed.

Finally, we want to offer special thanks for the help Ezra Zygmuntowicz provided during the transition. As a leader at Engine Yard, he is committed to helping others succeed and has contributed in numerous ways to the open-source community. He has our utmost respect.

Stay tuned for more exciting news from MongoHQ!
