Title:

Scaling Rails Applications in the Cloud

Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
Mike Subelsky, OtherInbox.com
Description:
Skeptics argue that Ruby-on-Rails "can't scale". In this talk, I prove them wrong by demonstrating how cloud computing technologies have changed the game, enabling developers to use the expressiveness of Ruby and Rails to build high-performance applications that scale easily. Will include a case study and live scaling demonstration.
Questions
Answered:
  1. Should my startup use Ruby on Rails for our product?
  2. Can Ruby on Rails really handle high volumes of traffic?
  3. What are common problems faced by popular web applications?
  4. How do I write a Rails application that can handle large amounts of data and usage?
  5. What is cloud computing?
  6. What does a complex web app look like?
  7. Why is Ruby-on-Rails so powerful?
  8. What are the performance limitations of a scripted language?
  9. How do I setup a cloud computing environment?
  10. How much money can I save by using a cloud instead of traditional web hosting?

We just started moving our apps to EC2, It has been a great transition so far. At the moment we are using a mix of RighScale and EC2onrails. This is fine for now, but we are going to need to learn how to scale in the cloud, this seems like the perfect talk.
