Morph, Rails, and AWS
Tuesday, April 15, 2008 by Lincoln Murphy
I just posted a lengthy article about the Morph Application Platform, Ruby on Rails, and Amazon Web Services at the Morph Labs USA Blog. Basically, there is a lot of confusion about how developers interact with the Amazon Web Services when deploying their Rails applications on the Morph Application Platform.
The takeaway from the article is simple. When you deploy your application using Morph AppSpaces, you do not interact directly with Amazon Web Services unless you want to. You will never work directly with EC2, but you could leverage S3 or SQS if you want to for centralized storage; but you don't have to. Morph completely abstracts developers from the underlying technology so developers are free to focus on development of the core product.
Check it out if you had any questions about how Ruby on Rails developers work with Amazon Web Services when leveraging the Morph Application Platform.
