I’m proud to be talking about Leveraging the Cloud with Ruby at the Ruby Hoedown this coming August. Ruby Hoedown is a regional Ruby conference held this year in Huntsville, Alabama. There is a great lineup of speakers and it should be a great time.

I’ll be discussing cloud computing and showing rich code examples of how Ruby developers can use services such as Amazon Web Services to build highly scalable applications. Do you want to see something specific? If you’re attending Ruby Hoedown and would like to see something in particular leave a comment here. Register for the Ruby Hoedown today and I’ll see you in August!

  • More great stuff. I was wondering if people were interested in that. Thanks Gregg.
  • I'd like to see a comparison of all the different clustering / scaling technologies. Pros and Cons of each:

    i.e. Right Scale, Fuzed, PoolParty, Scalr, Morph, ElasticRails plugin.
  • @Luigi - great idea. I can definitely cover that in the talk. There are more and more options for EC2 "hosting" that I can cover. Thanks.
  • I'd like to see an explanation about the costs. Since it's ~$70/month to keep an EC2 instance up and running, and because one must design their architecture for failure, don't costs add up really quickly? Going the traditional VPS route seems much cheaper, and so I wonder where the benefits really come in, or if the cost can be reduced.

    Thanks, and can't wait to see the talk!
