Apr, 2009 : Heroku Launches Cloud Hosting for Ruby Apps
📅 - New product is a multi-tenant development environment built in Ruby, on top of the Amazon cloud platform.
Heroku, a project that has been in beta for months, today launched a new offering an in-browser Ruby on Rails development environment and an associated cloud-based hosting service.
The company states that the product is a multi-tenant development environment, built in Ruby on top of the Amazon cloud platform. It adds that it hopes the offering will compete with the Google App Engine platform. It further states according to a report on InfoWorld, the project has been in beta for a year, and has attracted 25,000 applications, according to its developers. It reportedly supports enterprise applications, along with Web 2.0 applications and hobbyist projects.
The company explains that the code pushed to the service is compiled into read-only ''slugs,'' which are then hosted on sections of the infrastructure grid known as ''dynos.'' A more exhaustive description of the architecture at work is available on the Heroku website. Pricing is dependent on a variety of factors. Users can customize an architecture on the Heroku pricing page, and immediately generate pricing for their custom implementation. According to the InfoWorld report, a typical enterprise deployment might run between $5,000 and $10,000.
"It provides single-step deployment of Web applications in a way that just works, without configuration," said James Lindenbaum, CEO and co-founder of Heroku, quoted in the InfoWorld story.
