It's not going to be a walk in the cake, though, since the only way I've heard of to integrate with PDM is through some .NET DLL.
We're using a t1.micro EC2 instance running Ubuntu 12.04. It would probably be fairly trivial to deploy Cheesy Parts instead as a Heroku or AppFog app, though -- I just like the extra control that a virtual private server provides.

Thank you for posting this!
We're going to deploy this on Heroku and try to set it up. Our lead CAD mentor might be in touch with you guys for running PDM. We had a lot of issues with it last year and have abandoned it for now (Using Google Drive instead).
Also, for what it is worth,
https://www.digitalocean.com is cheaper than Amazon for micro instance sized stuff and provides roughly the same amount of control. We run our primary site off of digital ocean. It's really because I'm a Linux Container nerd though and not so much about the price.
Also, it just so happens our other main mentor is a Ruby wizard so she is taking on setting this up on Heroku.
Again, thank you for posting this.
