Gondor Launches

For further reading, Gondor has been discussed previously on HN:<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2075158" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2075158</a><p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2728855" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2728855</a><p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2728855" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2728855</a>

(From their website, like Heroku)<p>Gondor was designed for people who want to deploy their Django sites early and often.<p>Whether it's feature branches in development being deployed for review and testing, or a multi-server dedicated production stack, Gondor frees you up to focus on your site, not your infrastructure.<p>Gondor supports:<p><pre><code> command-line deployment unlimited domains revision control via git or mercurial dependency management using pip database migrations via South or nashvegas full backups of your entire application asynchronous and scheduled task execution full-text search using Solr and django-haystack caching via redis</code></pre>

The pricing structure seems extremely reasonable. I hope Django developers jump on board and keep them afloat.<p>One of the reasons I switched from Django to Rails was because of the community support in the form of awesome tools like Heroku. If Gondor had been around a year ago I likely wouldn't have switched.

I know it's a tech thing, but it's a really good idea in the practice of launch posts to explain what the thing is and what it does, at least to some degree.
