February 2008 Archives
Morph eXchange will host the 3/15/2008 meeting of ChicagoRuby.org.
If you’re a Rails developer and/or entrepreneur, you may prefer to focus on the meat of your app and let someone else handle load balancing, monitoring, backups, and other day-to-day tasks. Manuel Espino and Lincoln Murphy from Morph eXchange will explain how Morph eXchange answers questions such as:
- If demand for my Rails app goes through the roof, how can I manage the increased volume?
- What is an elastic environment, and why do I care?
- How can I leverage Amazon EC2 and S3 in my app?
- What’s the best way to deploy updated versions of my app?
Stick around and chat with Manuel and Lincoln about other issues that concern you. Be sure to drop by Meetup.com to reserve your spot. See you in March!
