A combination of Cloud, Web2.0 and Infrastructure

Facebook, Joyent and Sun have partnered to provide free scalable, on-demand infrastructure from Joyent to Facebook developers. Joyent’s Accelerator on-demand infrastructure (peered with Facebook’s datacenter!) provides the very best load balancers, routing and switching fabric, x86 servers and storage from Sun. Facebook developers can take advantage of Joyent Accelerators to quickly launch Facebook applications capable of scaling to millions of users. All for free.

What’s Included?

A Joyent Facebook Developer Accelerator includes everything you need to develop and deploy your Facebook application. You get root access to a virtualized machine that includes all the tools for developing Facebook applications in PHP, Rails, and Python.

Note: We do not currently support Windows, and do not plan to do so in the foreseeable future.

How it works?
