Someone really needs to make a service that will spread an app out across compatible platforms automatically based on price and availability.
Kind of like a multi-PAAS HireFireApp that also handles deployment.
- cardmagic 14y agoAppFog did one better, one low price across any infrastructure, even in some cases lower than using the IaaS directly
- benologist 14y agoDo they do load balancing and stuff between locations and route around anywhere with issues? That would be amazing. Balancing between multiple companies I think would still be better just because of different middlewares and the cascading nature of problems at high scale though.
- EwanToo 14y agoUnfortunately not, they currently just let you pick which location (AWS US East, Ireland, Rackspace are the main options I think?) you deploy your app to. You could deploy the same codebase to 2 locations and use DNS to load balance / failover between them, but that's not great.
