This may be a silly question, but seeing as transfers between EC2 and S3 are free as long as within the same region, why isn't it possible to stream all transfers to and from S3 through EC2 and make the transfers completely free? Specifically, I'm looking at Heroku, which is a Ruby on Rails hosting service run on EC2, where bandwidth is...
I am using Flex/Flash to build a UI which front-ends my Rails server application. I am using WebORB as the communication mechanism. My question should apply beyond just WebORB, however. (I think). Specifically, it has to do with the services-config.xml file. I have a local (laptop) dev environment, a remote dev and a remote production e...
I am about to launch a beta site, and heroku looks like a great option. The only think that is getting me down is that the only search option is $20/mth for the Websolr add-on. I am sure that Websolr is great, but at this very early point in this project, I rather not light up that expense. Are there any free search options to couple ...

My team is currently using Authlogic for user authentication, which disables a user's account after 6 failed_login_attempts. I want to re-enable such a user's account after a 15-minute time period. The problem is that we are deploying to the Rails cloud host, Heroku, which offers only a one-hour cron job and a daily cron job. I seem to n...
I looked this up on Google, but wanted more opinions before I committed to either service. Has anyone had experience with either (or maybe both) services?

I have a project which I have used Active Record and which I'd like to add some new features using MongoDB. Rather than re-invent the wheel and re-write my entire site, how can I integrate 2 models together, one which use MongoMapper and the other ActiveRecord (postgres). I've found that others have done it successfully, but no example...

Very first thing is that autoincrement IDs are all messed up between heroku db and my db. So before deploy I have to delete all data from my local app and then push my DB to heroku. If I don't do that then while trying to a...

For deploying to Heroku, I use git push heroku master. But how do I see which revision I pushed up to heroku? (I'm often in doubt if I pushed the recent version up) For those not familiar with it, Heroku's create script generates a remote git repository that you push to. Upon push, the code is deployed magically. Heroku adds a remote r...
Hi guys, Heroku made all its apps upgrade to the latest version of bundler (0.9.4). I followed all the instructions found on the README (including the upgrading instructions).
