Build my personal “heroku” or “fluxflex” like?

Question

I'd like to learn (by doing) how heroku, fluxflex and in general all PaaS work. I mean, how could I build my own "heroku", "fluxflex", GAE... What do I need to know/learn/read? I've seen appscale, but I'd like to build my own.

Basically what I'd like to do:

• An user gets registered
• He import/upload an app (only allowed frameworks, for example django, ror, node) the app is installed.
• Everything is scalable....

Regards!

A Google search on "Heroku Architecture" and "Openshift Architecture" got me this, this respectively. CloudFoundry is an Open Source PaaS hosted on Github, and they have a nice blog that describes how CloudFoundry works. Hope that helps. Cheers.
