I have an app running Rails 2.3.5 that has a JSON API for much of it. A contractor came in and did some work on the app and used RJS in a few places.

I'm building a rails gallery app for a company that doesn't want to host it themselves. They estimate that it could potentially get 1000 or so unique visits a day. What I'm pondering is... should the images be on a static file server such as S3 or rackspace cloudfile, or should they just be left on the same server as the app? There is pl...
