Congrats! Minor nitpick (to all copywriters out there), when writing acquisition blog posts that will likely make their way on to HN, put a little snippet of who/what you are at the top of your post.
I'm assuming Redis to Go is currently hosted on EC2; will that be relocated to the Rackspace Cloud? If so will that affect latency for users on Heroku, for example?
Congrats to the team at Exceptional!<p>If any Airbrake/Exceptional users are looking for an alternative, check out Rollbar (<a href="https://rollbar.com" rel="nofollow">https://rollbar.com</a>). Here's a write-up we did on how we're different from Airbrake: <a href="https://rollbar.com/vs/airbrake/" rel="nofollow">https://rollbar.com/vs/airbrake/</a>
Congrats to the Exceptional team!<p>For anyone looking to switch from Airbrake/Exceptional to a more modern/reliable error tracking product, check out our product Bugsnag (<a href="https://bugsnag.com" rel="nofollow">https://bugsnag.com</a>).
Congrats.<p>A nitpick: "Exceptional could not be more excited to announce that we are joining Rackspace!" seem weird to me. Maybe add "We, at" in front of the sentence? Exceptional is a legal entity, and can hardly be excited, I guess.
