Enjoyed the discussion on dev ops. I’m a big fan of Heroku, but also starting to look into CloudBees, OpenShift, CloudFoundry, Kodingen, Cloud9Ide, and other tools for dev/deploy/collaboration.

I think its common for people to ‘graduate’ out of Heroku, either due to architecture contraints or cost, and that gets into some interesting areas of architecting modern rails apps (full text search, large db/mongo instance, non http protocols, etc).

Look forward to hearing more about your gems, architecture and tools of choice.

I’m interested in trying prismatic, if you still have that invite available.
