Product Description

Product Description
First you'll learn how to build out your shared, virtual, or dedicated host. Then, you'll see how to build your applications for production and deploy them with one step, every time. Deploying Rails Applications will take you from a simple shared host through a highly scalable clustered and balanced setup with Nginx.

See how to tell whether you've bought enough firepower, and learn how to optimize your Rails projects applications in a systemic, rational way. Take advantage of advanced caching techniques, and become and expert with the latest servers in Nginx and Mongrel. Don't worry. You'll get a dose of Apache too.

Not only will you learn how to configure your production environment, you'll also see how to monitor it with free, automated tools that can restart your servers when the memory use gets too high for comfort. You'll see how to take a performance baseline, profile for bottlenecks, and solve the most common performance problems you're likely to see.

You'll learn:

Everything from source control and migrations to Capistrano, rake tasks and beyond.

Directly from authors who run EngineYard, one of the best Rails hosts in the business.

How to deploy your applications to multiple production servers with a single command using Capistrano.

How to setup a Rails/Nginx/Mongrel cluster for applications with high scalabilty needs.

...and more!



From the Publisher
This book will help you sleep better at night, knowing that
your application can handle anything that gets thrown at it. Come away with
the knowledge of how to optimize your Rails projects for speed and
concurrency. You'll take advantage of advanced caching techniques and
become and expert in lighttpd and Apache server environments.

No longer will it be trial and error when it comes time to go live with
your gem of an application. You'll not only learn the how of configuring
your production environment, you will also learn the theory behind it so
you can adapt and keep up with new methodologies as Rails technologies
rapidly advance.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good thing to read before embarking on your next Rails Project, 21 Nov 2008
By Owain "omcg" (Buckinghamshire) - See all my reviews
I bought this since I was about to start building a Rails app on a dedicated server. The author has quite a nice analogy of leaving home, moving to your first flat, buying your first place that works well with the three deployment options. It covers shared hosts, virtual private servers and dedicated hosts. I could skip some of these chapters since "I already had my own house".

Well worth the read since I am sure Capistrano will save a lot of heartache later.

Only talks about Subversion for version control, I would like to have seen something on Git.
