Thanks, going immutable with all of our infrastructure made our system way more stable and productive

at Codeship ( https://codeship.io , I am one of the founders) we support Bitbucket and have been for a while. We use LXC as well and are currently looking into Docker for our next infrastructure steps.

The editor is pretty fancy, dragging stuff around when you create a new document works really well. Will give it a try

Of course, but it happened with a regularity that just didn't work out for us any more. Although it was definitely not the main issue to change. So far though we haven't seen any of those problems on EC2 (or at least only very very very few

Reserved Instances are the next thing we are looking into as well to get our costs down dramatically

As I was asked about the implementation details I'll write a second blogpost at the end of the week that goes into the details of our implementation.

We actually went that route with historical data and it wasn't any good to be honest. Work patterns change daily, so we really need the auto scaling. Working with Historical data means you either totally oversubscribe certain days, or total

Exactly. Price itself is not the main issue, but flexibility is. For example on Weekends we typically see 20%-30% the traffic that we see during the week, simply because people are not at work. Scaling up and down is an absolute necessity t

Which is exactly the case in our environment. As soon as all libraries are loaded from EBS IO is not that much of an issue any more

We store all the code and everything that changes in a Ram disk, so really fast. The virtual machine lies on EBS, but it is really fast to start and performance is not limited by EBS at all in our case.

Builds failed from time to time because the network was simply gone. We worked around the issues by running commands again when they timed out, but it was one of the reasons (the main reason being that having your own servers is simply not

Digital Ocean looks pretty sweet, but the advantages by going with EC2 for us are a large number of different Instance Types we can use for every task we have. It provides us with a lot of flexibility on how to build our service.

Linode is very competitively priced, but we need to scale up/down on an hourly basis. when there are less builds to run we simply want less servers to run. Linode is much cheaper than Amazon when you go over the whole year, but it just does

I haven't looked into Cloudflare a lot, but it looks like it would solve that as well.

You are absolutely right. Will add this to the Header

Rails provides great performance and when coupled with Apache/Nginx delivering Assets is not that big of a deal. But as Heroku doesn't provide any proxying it is upon every developer to implement something like this. Though doing it takes p

Hi Ryan, you could deploy to your staging environment upon every build and only deploy to production when triggered manually. Railsonfire (full disclosure: I am one of the founders) makes this very easy. Just give it a look here: http://he

We (Railsonfire, a continuous deployment service actually) deploy regularly to Heroku (up to several times a day) and the timeout is a few seconds max. We are on cedar stack though, which might make a difference there. Working on startup ti

Google Docs is really a great starting point to see what exactly you need and where to go from there if you need. It's easy, free and just works.
