Hi Alpha, I wasn't so much interested in CDN, as I was in seamless scaling of an app from small to large without deployment hassles. It's about deploying a social networking site that can just grow as the number of daily visitors grows without learning anything about the wonderful world of scaling Rails apps. If and when the app catches on, I want to just pay a little more money to "throw some more iron at it". Sure, I could become an expert on Rails scaling and deployment, but I don't have any interest or time for that. Hence my interest in something "easy" and "cheap", that "just works". Some googling just uncovered "Heroku", which looks promising. Anything else out there that is similar? thanks, jp -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
