- bhrgunatha 17y agoYes that puzzled me too. I guess Engine Yard can see some business value - maybe offering support for people that have already chosen JRuby for their projects or perhaps they will feel more able to support Java in their services.
- jshen 17y agoThe later is definitely important to them. A lot of rails apps use solr as a search engine, as I did with my EY slices, and they were very upfront with their desire to get more expertise on the jvm.
- compay 17y agoWell, if they help EY develop products based around Java and JRuby, that opens up a potentially very profitable market for them. So I think they'll have more incentive to keep them on board for a while.
