I'm fairly new to HN and very naive of the startup world. After doing a Google search for "Heroku for Python", I found a quora Q&A[0] that lists a large number of python cloud hosts that function like heroku...but many are in Beta and require an email invite. Is it a common pattern for multiple startups offering similar services to be in beta at the same time and not try to beat each other to the punch of releasing first?I appreciate the insight!
