Deployment

Rails Deployment Consulting

We've helped deploy hundreds of Ruby on Rails applications over the last four years. Learn from the experts.

The scope and complexity of Ruby on Rails applications is growing and evolving, making it difficult for developers and managers to stay on top of the best practices when it comes to deployment. At Planet Argon we have deployment specialists because we know the value of having a dedicated practitioner who knows their stuff!

Our comprehensive consulting packages feature knowledgeable deployment experts, handling many of the common deployment tasks, as well as advising you on best practices for performance and security.

Designing your Deployment Strategy

Let our deployment specialists help you find answers to your most important deployment questions.

Designing an effective deployment strategy

  • What revision control system should we use?
  • Does our capfile meet our needs?
  • What web server should we use? (nginx/apache/lighttpd)

Auditing and improving existing deployment strategies

  • Is our current deployment secure?
  • Can this deployment scale once we add more users?

Designing a practical and scalable hosting solution

  • Should we go with a hosting provider or get our own hardware?
  • How well is our application really performing?

Choosing an appropriate Ruby server

  • Mongrel?
  • Thin?
  • Phusion Passenger (mod_rails)?

Custom Packages

The price for Rails deployment consulting varies based on your budget and the complexity of your infrastructure. We can design a consulting package that fits your needs and will provide you with an estimate based upon your project goals and requirements.

Starting at $1,000

What our clients say

Working with Planet Argon has been both refreshing and very successful. Their depth of knowledge on web site administration, deployment, and Ruby on Rails has been critical to our plans to continue moving our site forward. The transition was complex, involving moving numerous poorly configured Rails and PHP implementations, and yet Alex at Planet Argon was able to find solid solutions for every issue. Since the transition our site now runs at least four times faster, has proven to be very stable, is highly secure, and allows changes to be staged and fully tested before being deployed to the live site.
