From firsthand experience I would have thought their designer hiring strategy would have read something like this: Buy a company of 30, fire most of them and use the severance pay as leverage to force the designers into staying with Facebo

We've had huge buy-in from Ruby as it's pretty difficult to set up and deploy a Ruby stack. Where as with PHP it's basically supported out of the box by pretty much everyone. It's hard to sell Heroku which is why we have

No worries. I start a lot of writing with a "hook" first sentence and try to end with a memorable sentence. I then diagram the work into bullet points and try to make sure all key takeaways are obvious, note I didn't actually

Hello, I helped edit the blog post and actually proposed this sentence. I love this reaction: > What is the difference between a PHP developer and any other developer? It's exactly the type of response I was hoping for. In early dra

Heroku employee here. I'm curious about this statement: > I'd argue its not much different than AWS. Could you expand here? What about the platform do you find similar and different? Which of that is good and bad? What were you

Heroku employee here. Yes there's been a PHP community buildpack for some time. I'm glad you got it working. Moving PHP to be officially sanctioned and "supported" by Heroku is subtle but significant: We've hired a

That's a good point. I did my senior project (mechanical engineer) on the boards. Developed a NiMH replacement to their lead acid batteries which dropped off 10-ish pounds. I also milled out a handle so you can carry it by the back (le

Had you previously looked into other boards? Why did you choose boosted over all the other options out there?

I've had an Altered skateboard (600 watts, 20mph max speed) for over 7 years now and it costs $700. An electric longboard at this price point isn't exactly revolutionary. What makes this board different?

We tend to make side optimization recommendations whenever we notice something is wrong and you open a support ticket. We could add it to the warnings at the end, but I can safely say most people don't read them. Still worth having for

I understood the simplification to be for clarity of your point, not a misunderstanding. I just wanted to clear it up for any other readers :)

I recommend Puma and work for Heroku, though threadafety is still a huge issue. It also pre-forks in hybrid mode which makes it super awesome. Also it takes care of slow clients!

> the default Heroku server There is no "default Heroku server" you get exactly what you specify. If you specify nothing you get what Rails runs by default which is webrick and happens to be awful in production. It's not t

Heroku Ruby guy here. I recommend Puma. Especially if your app is threadsafe. Even if it isn't you can still run multiple workers and only one thread and you get protection against slow clients (that Unicorn doesn't have). https:

I'm not a java programmer and currently eclipse is telling me that it's going to take 60 minutes to download. How does the program itself work? Is there some SC2 API they are using for this or did they just write down all the valu

Curious from a user experience perspective would you consider going back to try out the PX dyno service? Do you use chef or puppet or any other software to manage your Rackspace instances?

I agree with the CDN comment. Please use a CDN to serve your assets no mater what you host on. It's so easy, and the performance gains to the end user are good, it should be an obvious choice.

On my Production Rails app `time rails s` takes about 0m2.273s for me (Rails 4, Ruby 2.1.0). Not an insanely fast boot time, but nothing to lose sleep over.

I run http://codetriage.com/ on Rails 4, Ruby 2.1.0 and have 5 unicorn workers per (regular 1x) dyno. With a little GC tweaking I could likely get 6, but i'm being cautious. With puma hybid server I can get even more c

Thanks for sharing! Can you share your before and after web server configuration? Also what web server are you using, Unicorn?

Random routing is more or less industry standard. NGINX and ELB (what I would consider two gold standards for load balancing) both use Round Robin (non-inteligent, pseudo-random) routing variants: - http://wiki.nginx.org/Loa

Heroku needs to rotate database credentials every now and then so be careful that your second app on the database can have some downtime. Monitoring here could help. Interesting idea.
