http://blog.rayvinly.com/articles/2008/08/04/capistrano-deployment-recipes en-us 40 <p><a href="http://dealistic.com/">Dealistic</a> was first deployed to <a href="http://www.slicehost.com/">Slicehost</a> when we were testing it on staging. However, I only got the 256 slice and low memory is a big problem for Ruby and Mongrel. We&#8217;ve moved to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?node=201590011">Amazon <span class="caps">EC2</span></a> when we launched. It is running rock solid and we don&#8217;t run out of memory again, at least for now :P</p> <p>As a result of all these, I wrote two <a href="http://www.capify.org/">Capistrano</a> recipes for deployment, for both Slicehost and <span class="caps">EC2</span>. We also use <a href="http://github.com/">GitHub</a> for version control. I think these deployment recipes may be helpful to others. So here they are:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://blog.rayvinly.com/shared/deploy_slicehost.rb">deploy.rb for Slicehost</a></li> <li><a href="http://blog.rayvinly.com/shared/deploy_ec2.rb">deploy.rb for <span class="caps">EC2</span></a></li> </ul> <p>We wrote some custom Capistrano tasks to copy over configuration files, symlink plugins, start/stop <a href="http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org/">BackgrounDRb</a>, and a custom maintenance page. But these things are optional. It should be simple to add/remove things as you see fit.</p> Mon, 04 Aug 2008 17:30:00 -0400 urn:uuid:f24253c2-5880-49fb-8e78-8d74075c0cbb Raymond Law http://blog.rayvinly.com/articles/2008/08/04/capistrano-deployment-recipes Entrepreneurship Git Dealistic Ruby on Rails Web 2.0 ruby rails rubyonrails dealistic slicehost amazon ec2 capistrano github http://blog.rayvinly.com/articles/trackback/69
