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.

Cloud computing is all the rage and Ruby on Rails is the platform all the programmers love. What a great combination!

cloud computing is a great way to move forward quickly. Will be good to see how one company works with this process.

What other companies are doing RoR on Amazon Web Services?

If you are a company doing RoR on AWS and you will be attending SXSW, please email sxsw-ror-cloud@joshuabaer.com

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.

Clous computing, the future!

will be interesting to see the case study and see how it worked on a practical level.

Cloud computing is an area I know little about, but I do know it is a fast efficient way to produce apps quickly.
