If you have to spend any time setting it up, it doesn't have sensible defaults.

  When I said you could set everything up in under 30 minutes, I meant starting with a bare Macintosh (or Linux box), with no development tools or Heroku account, and ending with fully deployed and scalable production application. The second time through, I can probably do it in under 60 seconds. rails new my_app cd my_app git init git add . git commit -m "My application" heroku create git push heroku master Creating database tables adds a few more commands: rails generate model post title:string body:string # Commit new files. rake db:migrate heroku maintenance:on git push heroku heroku rake db:migrate heroku maintenance:off I imagine that Microsoft, PHP and Django have something similar, or are working on it as we speak.

    MS has nothing near as simple.
