If these are recorded and posted somewhere, my vote is for Heroku. I haven't gotten around to deploying anything, but I'm curious as to how to deploy Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:04:35 GMT Wes Gamble http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Houston-RoR/message/2023 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Houston-RoR/message/2023 All, I've been using New Relic's RPM service to do some performance tuning on an app. If we need some filler, I could possibly discuss that a wee bit.

I can also do a quick overview of deploying Rails apps on Heroku if anybody is interested.

Not really - I did .net in my pre-enlightenment days.

I feel like a Ruby Newbie, as I still feel more comfortable in perl, however, I take exception to the assertion that the Fri, 30 Oct 2009 18:12:54 GMT A. Lester Buck III http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Houston-RoR/message/2015 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Houston-RoR/message/2015 Thanks for the interesting views on this. I forgot to include the blog post that lead me to the newbie analysis: Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:29:57 GMT Charles Lowell http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Houston-RoR/message/2014 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Houston-RoR/message/2014 Interesting. It makes sense that it would be non-performant, but I tend to eschew it for the reason that it is rails-specific until 1.8.7 It's not as much a Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:20:54 GMT Wes Gamble http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Houston-RoR/message/2013 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Houston-RoR/message/2013 Ha! Brett will get a kick out of this. Here's my rant at Symbol.to_proc, with some performance info. for Ruby 1.8 vs. 1.9 if you're interested.
