We have a new, very interesting interview with Ezra Zygmuntowicz. Ezra is the author of the upcoming Pragmatic Programmer's book Rails Deployment and is now busy with his company Engine Yard, a Rails hosting service with a twist. It makes use of the virtualization technology Xen to allow for more flexibility and redundancy in Rails solutions. This makes it trivial to scale an application to the needs of the day. Ezra shows this with an example of how one of Engine Yard's customer's survived an onslaught from Techcrunch without breaking a sweat.
Hear (or read) Ezra go into details of the Engine Yard's Xen based cluster and his thoughts on many other topics, like scaling Rails, in Ezra Zygmuntowicz on Engine Yard and Rails Deployment.
