Nanite is a new way to build scalable backends for web applications using RabbitMQ. It allows services called Nanite agents to advertise themselves and be discovered. Nanite mappers track agents and can dispatch work to them based on factors like load. This provides presence of agents, ability for agents to come and go dynamically, and load-based dispatch. Engine Yard As A Service (EYAAS) aims to abstract infrastructure management and provide a highly automated cloud platform using state-based configuration management. It will initially target Amazon Web Services but also allow deploying to other providers and internal data centers.
