I have been lucky enough to have access to the Pantheon service with a beta account (Thanks Paul). I will document my experience and exploration at
http://live.hofmockel.gotpantheon.com/
Pantheon is striving to solve the dev -> test -> production workflow.
There is is already a lot to explore. More soon ....

Installation/build/experience blog
Drupal 7 on Lucid pantheon.
AMI ID: ami-294aa340
Source: pantheon-amis-us-east/mercury-pressflow-drupal-lucid-32-1.1-Beta2.manifest.xml
I just swaped out pressflow-6 and it has worked well.
I have begone installing modules and building a site that will host http://hofmockel.org
Few server tweaks so I can upload up to 10Gb. I think only PHP but might be one Apache.
