Cloudy with High Wins: Ruby on Rails with Nitrous.io
- afit 13y agoThanks @DanielKehoe, this is very comprehensive. It's great to see how to do it, but how do you find using it? What's the speed like?
- DanielKehoe 13y agoThat's the thing, I thought it would be unusable because of network latency. But I'm actually using it and it seems faster than my native environment on a Macbook Air. Fast Comcast broadband in San Francisco's Outer Sunset District but still, how can it be faster than my local shell?
- BobWalsh 13y agoAs usual, a very complete writeup by @DanielKehoe. It's interesting to see alternatives to Heroku starting to popup.
- DanielKehoe 13y agoUh, not exactly Heroku. You can launch an app and see it in your browser but just while you are doing development. You'll still need to deploy your application to Heroku or elsewhere for hosting. Nitrous.io is more like Cloud9, someplace to write code. Or maybe you are thinking of the old Heroku Garden which had a browser-based coding environment.
- tmock12 13y agoI'm definitely going to try this out for pair programming. looks very interesting.
- DanielKehoe 13y agoYea, let me know how it works for you. It's easy to pair in the text editor. To share the console you'd need tmux or screensharing.
- fdschoeneman 13y agoHas anyone used this in a paired environment? Would love to hear feedback on that. I'd also like to know if anyone has tried "importing" an existing rails app into nitrous, and how that has worked.
- tensaix2j 13y agoThis is pretty good. But does the free account last forever? Last time i was lured into signing up upcloud.com and was forced to pay a month later or my entire account gets wiped out.
