Developers are now deploying Rails and Sinatra applications to Google App Engine. These apps run in a servlet container, with access to all the Java APIs. Unlike a traditional Ruby hosting environment, new app instances spin-up on-demand, so you avoid paying for servers that sit idle. Unfortunately, new Rails instances can take sixteen seconds (or more) to spin-up.
