Heh, I was wondering what this was when I first saw it a few hours ago. I've seen 5-6 people I follow on Tumblr use this thing already.
I suggest migrating it to Heroku. Push your code, copy over the database, and crank your dynos up. They charge by the hour, so as an example if you have ~10 dynos running (roughly equivalent to 10 thin instances, but slightly better) for 5 days (or however long it takes for the initial traffic surge to subside), you're only going to pay about $50. Then, you can turn down your dyno count and pay a reasonable monthly fee.
- jarin 16y agoThere's a bit of magic involved with things like compass/sass and Paperclip on Heroku (you have to use Amazon S3 for storage and there is some other setting I can check on). Anyway Mark, I have a bunch of apps on Heroku that use all kinds of wacky stuff—including the aforementioned gems—so email me at jarin (at) robotmodehq.com if you decide to try out Heroku and get stuck. I can send over working code snippets that you should be able to just drop in.
- jarin 16y agoI got a few emails about the Compass/SASS on Heroku thing, so I posted it up on my blog in case anyone who didn't email me needs it. Compass and SASS are notoriously painful to get up and running on Heroku, and everyone says to use the Hassle gem but it never works. So here's the SUPER MAGIC WAY: http://jarinheit.posterous.com/the-ultimate-secret-to-getting-compass-to-wor http://jarinheit.posterous.com/the-ultimate-secret-to-gettin...
