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

implemented Tapestry app.
Agreed.
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.
If you want to try some cloud solution without paying anything, Red Hat's
OpenShift is a good option. It has a free tier that I believe can hold
some small traffic and data without problems.
As Kalle said, just worry about scaling when you really have a scaling
problem, specially when you just have it after exhausting the VPS level.
