I've just finished running through our uptime stats from last year and I'm really pleased to see over 99.9% uptime across all our clients - 99.92% to be exact.
There was some unplanned downtime in amongst the planned downtime. This was due to infrastructure issues that thankfully were resolved quickly. I can say with a high degree of certainty that EngineYard did not feature in this unplanned downtime.
Success, of course, is never final. How can we get closer to or achieve 100%? We will continue to use EngineYard and make sure any clients who are not yet EY users, become EY users.
We continue to refine our processes and procedures. The product matures as do all the technologies we use (Ruby on Rails, Sphinx, etc.). We make no room for compromise when it comes to the safety and reliability of our client's online businesses. Really it's quite simple: we strive not to be s**t!
High Performance E-Commerce Solutions. We provide a range of E-Commerce solutions for retailers of all shapes and sizes. With our applied expertise we build businesses as well as websites.

Moneyspyder uptime in '08 so far
The data is in.
We've just finished collating our uptime data up to the end of July and it looks pretty good.
So far we have avoided unscheduled downtime. On average we are running all our clients at 99.9% uptime with only scheduled downtime accounting for the 0.1%.
How do we do this?
The application of rigorous software engineering practices and procedures is a must of course. Even with the best architecture and technology infrastructure, by not applying solid procedural control over development, testing and deployment one's business and therefore clients will be screwed....badly.
We happen to have the first rate technology (Ruby on Rails) and infrastructure (Engine Yard, Brightbox and Slicehost) in place also. Cost effective, smart, reliable, fast and secure. What more could you ask for?
Couple these elements with a cool, clever and passionate team and the prospects for maintaining a solid service are looking very good!
