Description:24 layers of technology, people, and business advantages.

Diagram #1 shows all 24 separate resources that form an Engine Yard sliceTM. About half the resources are physical things, and half are people/business things.

Your Rails app runs in the Application Servers layer (about 1/3 up from the bottom). That layer is your dedicated app server. It runs up to 4 Mongrels devoted to your app and only your app - no databases, no email sending, nothing else :-).

All of the other very useful resources are included in your slice price, but they are provided by completely separate systems devoted to their respective tasks.
