Good ol’ Jinesh Varia is putting on a EC2 + S3 (AWS) showcase on how to scale out your rails apps… I was supposed to help with this talk but I ended up not having enough time to produce some valuable content. Sorry Jin.



Ruby Audience = Audience 2.0 :) AWS is hearing the comments / feedback…



Lots of AWS … crazy number of insights into their infrastructure…



All about EC2 - You’ve probably heard about it, I’ll spare the details…



All about sharing and zero configuration… let someone build up the perfect stack and share it…



What could be built…



time-bound applications



Scaling on a time-line based on expected traffic…
Reversing the concept of an always-on-internet. Thursdate … only on on Thursdays for 3 hours per week…
All about conserving your time.



scale-on-demand applications



Scale on CPU, Heap, load/TCP connections, memory usage, DB call rate, disk I/O, SQS queue length, SQS job wait time…
Basic rules engine could drive this…
