Hi everyone. There i show information if you think about new web project starting using ruby. So i find cloud application platform and now i tell a little bit more about this all.

What is Heroku?

Heroku is a cloud application platform for Ruby – a new way of building and deploying web apps.

Our service lets app developers spend 100% of their time on their application code, not managing servers, deployment, ongoing operations, or scaling.

Learn more about our architecture, pricing, and add-ons ecosystem.

Heroku was founded in 2007 by Orion Henry, James Lindenbaum, and Adam Wiggins.

Their philosophy:

Developer Productivity

Developer productivity is our battle cry, at the core of everything we do. Why require 3 steps when 1 will do? Why require any action at all when zero steps will do?

Design

A deployment platform’s workflow and experience should be designed. Every decision – from what HTTP cache to use, to the order of command-line flags, to the color of the buttons – has been made with a maniacal focus on developer productivity.

Platform architecture

Dynos

A dyno is a single process running your ruby code on a server in our grid. Each dyno is independent and includes all the layers in this diagram.

The number of dynos running for a given app directly affects the maximum concurrency and therefore the performance of that app. You can run as few or as many dynos as you need – new dynos can be launched in under 2 seconds for most apps.

Pricing

So why you need to try this? Its power full platform with newer trends. If you have place where to host your site than this will be useful for testing your projects into high power. And after that you can easy analyze how good work your project. If you are just new and small and you don't have big resources for this than there is also some gainful hosting plans for you. So for more information visit heroku.com. And yes remember, cloud computing is future and next generation for web development. Ou and i forgot tell you that at the moment on heroku.com runs 47 167 applications.
