If you are not expecting exploding growth, I wouldn't move onto a cloud platform. It's difficult to beat the price/performance ratio of a VPS/dedicated platform. You really need to have some traffic on the system before you need the out-scalability for a reasonably well implemented Tapestry app.
On cloud platforms, Google app engine is fairly restrictive for Java apps. However, Google Cloud SQL seems to offer a MySQL slice nowadays. Of the newcomers, Cloudbees is decent, offers mysql instances and runs on AWS. But I've been very impressed with Jelastic myself. I love that they allow tweaking the container configuration to your heart's content and their real-time monitoring/control panel is one of the simplest I've ever seen. Our VPS-based alpha system still beats a similarly-powered single instance on Jelastic by at least 2 to 1.
