Ruby Clouds: Engine Yard Vs. Heroku

Posted by samzenpus on from the silverest-lining dept.

snydeq writes "InfoWorld's Andrew Glover provides an in-depth comparison of Engine Yard and Heroku, two cloud-based, platform-as-a-service offerings for Ruby development. 'To put it simply, Heroku will appeal more to developers and Engine Yard will appeal to operations folks. Consequently, when evaluating the two platforms, one's choice usually comes down to what's more important: Heroku's rapid deployment via a hands-off infrastructure, or Engine Yard's total control over all aspects of application deployment, provisioning, and monitoring.'"

    Ruby is for hipsters who think they are programmers because they bought a 3000 dollar macbook pro and 4000 dollars in skinny Jeans and emo glasses to show off while sipping lattes at their "independent" coffee shop during their breaks as a barista.

    I admit I am not a big follower of Japanese manga, that's why I probably never heard of Ruby Clouds: Engine Yard vs. Heroku, but is it any good?
