Re: PaaS recommendations

2012-03-21 Thread euromark
you are looking for
http://www.dereuromark.de/2012/02/25/dynamic-database-switching/ 
I suppose.

I use a single file for all x versions (local dev, stage, live, ...) this 
way
it also enables you to know which environment you are at (domain etc)

as for the schema migration:

 Hello,

 I'm trying to lighten my load of System Administration tasks and focus
 on development.

 I believe using a PaaS type service might help me here. Does the
 CakePHP community have any recommendations/experiences?

 So far I'm looked at PHPFog and Orchestra (by Engine Yard).

 The stand out problems I have are on Shell Tasks and
 staging/production database configuration files.

 PHPFog has environment variables, so I can specify if an instance is
 staging/production and thus knows what DB configuration to use.

 Orchestra is nice, and I believe has a sane cron job like API. As for
 above problem I believe a domain check will have to suffice.

 Though the problem here is no domain/environment variable when doing a
 cron job/shell task, so the application doesn't know which DB to hit.

 Lastly, I would like to have access to some sort of command line where
 I can run Schema migrations.

 Asking too much?
