Summary
Markdown supported
In this session from Rails Conf 2013, Edward Chiu and PJ Hagerty provide an overview of Engine Yard Cloud, discussing its developments, functionalities, and advantages for deploying applications. ### Key Points Discussed: - **Introduction to Engine Yard Cloud**: Edward Chiu begins the presentation by highlighting the complexities developers face when preparing for a surge in application traffic, referencing the need for efficient deployment solutions. - **Deployment Process**: A demonstration is provided to illustrate how easily users can deploy applications on Engine Yard. Developers only need their Git repository, application version details, and they can create an environment for production or staging. - **Environment Configuration**: Users can choose a specific application service stack, set preferences for instance failure handling, and configure database options. The demo emphasizes that Engine Yard allows for SSH access to instances and custom database configurations. - **High Availability Features**: The presenters explain the importance of uptime and demonstrate failover capabilities: when an application master is shut down, an application slave automatically promotes itself, ensuring continuous service. - **Support & Expertise**: PJ Hagerty discusses the robust support provided by Engine Yard, available 24/7. Their support team includes experienced engineers, many of whom have faced similar deployment challenges, ensuring they understand customer pain points. - **Support Structure**: There are three tiers of support: initial assistance for trial users, more customized help for paying customers, and a professional services team for specialized needs like code reviews or system performance optimization. - **Important Takeaways**: The session concludes with a reassurance that Engine Yard provides not only a cloud hosting service but also extensive support, which is pivotal for businesses experiencing rapid growth. Users are encouraged to engage with the support team for any concerns or questions, especially at the event's booth and after-party. Overall, this session emphasizes Engine Yard's goal of simplifying the deployment process while providing robust support for developers, ultimately enabling them to focus more on creating excellent applications rather than getting bogged down with infrastructure worries.
