Aptana to Launch Cloud Platform

Aptana to Launch Cloud Platform: "When released, Aptana Cloud will be the first elastic application cloud with ready-made Web stacks for the most popular scripting languages, 'featuring the most popular and widely adopted Web infrastructure, ready to use and scale as you need it,' Hakman said. 'You can develop on your desktop and sync out to the cloud.'

Aptana Cloud features ready-to-go services, such as PHP, MySQL and Apache Web servers. In addition, Aptana Jaxer enables AJAX developers to use their JavaScript and AJAX skills on the server-side to build entire applications, data services or presentation tiers that complement PHP and Ruby On Rails.

“Ruby on Rails is what's next on deck for Aptana Cloud support, and Python would be a natural extension, too.' Hakman told eWEEK.

Meanwhile, Aptana Cloud is built to complement cloud infrastructure providers such as Amazon, Google and Joyent, Hakman said. Aptana's initial cloud computing partner in the effort is Joyent."
