Rails Deployment

InfoQ have posted an interview with Aaron Batalion of RevolutionHealth - a recently-launched RoR site aimed at helping people have more control over their health and healthcare.

What is interesting from our perspective is that they also have a blog where they are documenting some of the issues they have encountered whilst building a large Rails application and how they have tackled these.

Brandon Keepers over at OpenSoul has published a Capistrano recipe that automatically backs up your remote database before a deploy - just in case those migrations aren’t quite as seemless as you had hoped ! Looks like another Rails weblog worth keeping a close eye on !
