Try an opensource PaaS like Cloudfoundry. You can use cloudfoundry with bosh to spin multiple ec2 instance and deploy across all of them and you can scale up and down as you want.
I am not affiliated with Cloudfoundry and earn no money from them neither do i have any formal relationship with Vmware. I am bullish on cloudfoundry and use bosh multi-instance and multi-cloud deploy. You can see how cloudfoundry works by testing the commercial version on cloudfoundry.com and the opensource community based articles on cloudfoundry.org.
You can run Java, Ruby, Node, Python, PhP tec and comes preinstalled Postgresql, Mysql, Mongodb, Redis, Rabbitmq.
I was pleasantly surprised with their customer support, but unfortunately they still miss a few features (not being able to run ssh commands on the server is one) that prevent me from using AppFog for anything serious for now. I'm keeping a close eye on them.
